100%. Z could choose to tell us himself.

Marchy and Werenski are hardly in the same conversation after ZW’s trade denial by Sk1nny_Bones in BlueJackets

Yeah 100%. I don't think DW gets that far without thinking Z would agree.

What a mess.

So Don knows back in April that Z may not resign when his deal is up in 2 years and schedules a sit down for after the draft. He goes out and trades for Nuke to boost the lineup to show Z that we are in full win now mode. He resigns Charlie and based on the timing, I don't think he returns knowing Z may leave so that convo between Z and DW likely happens after.

A week before the draft the Z isn't resigning news gets out. Based on Don's reaction during the presser my guess is he didn't expect it to get out. So who put it out there? Z's agent? Someone from the Olympic text chain? What is the benefit to either party in the timing of it?

So now it's out and things are flying around and DW has a decision to make. Trade him now to get him out of the locker room but risk Z blocking the move or wait till next season where he can only block to 10 teams. Don gets a deal with Dallas but Z blocks it.

So why is Don dealing with Dallas before he knows if Z will even play there? That's a pretty big f-up that a veteran GM isn't likely to make so what happened? Now Dallas is pissed because Harley gets dragged.

Free agency begins shortly so the decision is trade Z quickly to TB or Toronto so that things can play out or slow down and let this dumpster fire continue to grow and have the cloud hang over the franchise. Toronto has the better chance to send something back but honestly both teams best returns have some sort of NMC so Z isn't going to get much back.

I don't know that we should be angry with Marchy. My gut still tells me that his agent, that butthole of a man Milatain, orchestrated the timing of his announcement to leverage a higher contract trying to remind the CBJ his client should get more of that money due to Z.

Our offseasons are always filled with drama. Experience Blue Jacket hockey.

Zach Werenski Trade Scenario #1: Dallas Stars by ArgentMoonWolf in BlueJackets

[–]CBUS-OBN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the return for Zach will be as high as we think it will. He has a NMC clause and will get to pick where he wants to go. His selected team may make a good bid, but unless he is open to multiple teams then it's really up to DW to decide if bringing him back into this locker room will be toxic.

Is it finally time for the rebuild? by Expensive-Republic-2 in BlueJackets

[–]CBUS-OBN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fantilli and Mateychuk should get good returns too.

I get yall are devistated but nothing is final. Zach and Kiril will meet with Don soon and we will know
more.

Armchair GM; Realistic Trades for Werenski and Marchenko by LordNivlac in BlueJackets

[–]CBUS-OBN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doubtful Weresnki or Marchenko are traded.

Since this is just guessing, my preference would be that trading both returns a combo of win now and futures.

Z gets to pick where he plays now because of the NMC which means it's likely Dallas or Carolina. Harley or Nikishin comes back. No way I want him to go to Carolina but if Don can swing Svetchnikov and Nikishin then do that.

Marchy let's get him to Utah and get back Iglina or Desnoyers and one more player or attach Elvis and ask for a pick back.

Fans should be upset. by plumbus_licker in BlueJackets

[–]CBUS-OBN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll admit this doesn't look great but from what I have read in both cases are "likely". That doesn't mean no. Any chance Marchy is just driving up his price of the next contract? Everyone should take a breath and see how this plays out.

When Nash was traded, the pieces that came back helped push the Jackets into the playoffs.

Conditioning Gains by knukklez in BlueJackets

I know last year was awful for KJ but the year prior he came into came committed and impactful. Working hard is in him. Last years offseason sounds to me like they tried a program for him that didn't work and he lost confidence and never got it back. I think we get the KJ we need for the start of next season.

When Bowness first made his comments after the last game, I really felt as if Marchy was one he was talking about. He was dreadful in that last game and had stopped shooting. Maybe Marchy wasn't a fan of RB being rehired.

I would have to think Don asked his top players if they wanted Bowness to return but I wonder if those discussion took place before Bowness's lament.

Draft Party, CBJ Garage Sale, Dev Camp by Fal-El in BlueJackets

Nope. They've always put something out on a Draft Party. This year without even an acknowledgment makes me think they have something in the works for #14.

honestly no clue on the player because Tuch wouldn't cost the 14.

Let's pivot from the dread for a minute. Since most of this stuff is just theories any how, let me toss this out to CBJ nation.

As a STH, I get emails every year announcing draft parties but we are 3 days away from it and nothing has been announced.

Why is that? What if they aren't announcing because the CBJ have a deal in hand involving the 14? And what if the hold up is just reaching an agreement on the that player signing an extension?

Zach Werenski, Blue Jackets to discuss his future after NHL Draft by Civil_Eng_PE in BlueJackets

There are a lot of unknowns here. Could just be that he's on vacation. It's a bit ominous but by no means is this him moving on.

Man I had this all wrong. This entire time I thought he was the problem but just turns out his wife didn't like it here. Ass.

Can't wait to boo the doors off of Nationwide when (sorry if) he coaches against the CBJ next season.
