@JustinScottx89 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fan trade tweets are undefeated fun

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@snazzygoth69 He’s not actually. This is frank being frank. Pretty much anyone connected to the jackets inside in a serious way has said the exact opposite including Porty.

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@F1RETHECANNON 🤣 I’m living for other teams twitter traders. Although we have a couple of our own too lol

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@worldhockeyrpt Or offer sheeted. Or not. Or just play for the stars. Or not. Who knows. It’s all on the table.

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@noah_loris5 Now this is a weatuonbive been wondering since DW hire. Why did he keep them. It’s bothered me too

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@IceMetrix LMFAO. Hard pass for jackets

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@davmonti @ITRConnor @BruinsBenders @Aportzline LMFAO. This wouldn’t get approved on NHL26

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@olebuckeyes Follow-up report “jackets circle back with Boomer on contract right before free agency”

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@UnionAndBlue TOR

Werenski

CBJ

Knies
Cowan
Reilly
2027 Col 1st
2028 3rd

Reilly isn’t a Z replacement but keeps your D decent IF HE WOULD COME. Knies is elite young piece. Cowan at worst is a middle 6 but could be a top 6 winger. Two picks. I don’t think this gets done but is torontos best

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@UnionAndBlue To me it’s the classic:

DAL

Werenski

CBJ

Harley
Bourque
Hemming
2027 1st

It’s the only way you get a shot at a true Zach replacement. You upgrade middle 6 with upside of top six with Bourque. Add a quality prospect in hemming and get a first. I call this the rebuild prevent

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@willie_lutz @GeneParmesan694 Bingo. It’s not realistic. People getting greedy. If it is Dallas and they did offer Harley and Bourque… I’d run away in pure delight with Don. Heels clicking all the way. That’s a good deal.

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@GeneParmesan694 Because now we’re being the idiot leaf fans with that type of trade ask. It’s not realistic

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@nash_the_second This has been a “rumor” about 1000 times. Btw the frank report they’re all mentioning surfaced today from aggregator “NHL Rumor Report” who post quotes. This quote from frank was from 3 days ago and never got any steam.

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

Friedman and portzline with similar points today: no list from Z, team will bring packages and he will gauge fit. Expect faster resolution. Similar player names

@reporterchris same day with: no one is talking yet teams are frustrated. Z has small list. May take long time

#cbj

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@AaronStaley @willie_lutz Friedman said today that’s not how this is working on 32 thoughts. As did Aaron portzline on Columbus radio. No short list has been given, Zach and Judd have given jackets permission to seek out deal, then can bring to them for approval if it’s a destination he likes.

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@sarah____kent I’d suggest listening to 32 thoughts pod from this morning for latest national view. Then listen to Bishop and Friends Porty interview from 97.1. They both cover this, and more.

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@willie_lutz Would have deleted the scheduled send on that one. disagree with the people lashing out at jackets ticket sales, or regular marketing posts the org has to operate. But… the z team USA jersey, now? You delete the tweet and sell that shipment to his new team later this week.

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@OHRealtorChris @F1RETHECANNON Was a SUPER interesting note. Well put by Porty. “It’s dirty, but no better time to put the screws to a GM if you’ve seen an initial offer you didn’t like”

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

@F1RETHECANNON This doesn’t have to mean a return to rebuild, it it has to be handled properly, return has to be maximized and in Z’s case; it has to be handled now.

[Jay Alexanders @JayIrish23]

Porty on @971BFS this morning. Says he thinks #CBJ looking to get Werenski moved quickly. May take their time on Marchenko because would not rule that one out as negotiation tactic, but doesn’t know for sure.
