Sure, straight up for VO and they retain 3/4 of his salary. Do it!

I said coach, not a fake motivational speaker who knows absolutely nothing about coaching (or hockey).  Don't forget DG is a holdover from that staff.  Remember when coaches used to hold players accountable for terrible play?

i remember & i think we could use some of that for sure. However the issue is that you could bench 1/4 of the team most nights. DG has taken the path that mistakes are part of the development process & he's given them a long leash. But at some point this has to change, our mentality, from developing for the future to winning now.

Let’s trade for other team’s best players szn started early this year 

It’s simultaneously “let’s trade for other team’s best players” season, and “we don’t have room for other team’s best players“ season.  A rare time indeed.

I'd trade VO straight up for Johnny Hockey if the Jackets retained 50%.

Not a goalie on a passable contract?  Not interested.

Boy, I am going to be annoyed at GMKA for not fully addressing the goalie position for quite a while, won't I?

Only if Columbus eats salary so we can still have room for Pat Kane...
