Todd Cordell: Columbus Blue Jackets: Buying Out Umberger the Last Resort

There can't be much of a trade market for him. Would Keko dump him for nothing just to get him off the books? I'd take him on the Isles for future considerations and nothing more. I'm sure he can be an adequate fourth liner.

I think he would. Certainly wouldn't take much, I don't think.

He can still pot in 20 goals , he's not on good terms with Richards.

I say we trade him for another bad contract, I think that's the market for RJU.

Yeah but that contract is an albatross, in terms of what you pay and what you get.

Zero teams close to the cap will take him. I don't think you're going to get anything of value back. You can have Josh Bailey for Umberger and a 3rd rounder if you want

Colorado is thinking of getting rid of PA , he's earning about the same thing as RJU , maybe something can get done there , both have underperformed and a change of scenery might help.

Definitely think CBJ would win that deal if it happened. Parenteau is the better player, younger player, cheaper player and has two years left instead of three.

Someone is going to pay for PAP and it's going to be hilarious.

bah we can probably throw in a 3rd in that deal, besides PA is 31 , RJU is 32 , age might not be a factor.

We will take him here in Calgary along with a top prospect or top pick and give you a 5th rounder in return as a salary dump.

straight up for vinny?

No thanks. we have plenty of Center depth with Johansen, Dubi, Anisimov. don't need another old guy with an awful contract.
