another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

Columbus may also trade Matt Calvert (please, don't) and Winnipeg is said to be interested (please, don't be), but Jarmo says the rest of the core is staying.

Basically, if they have a deal beyond this season, they're sticking around. And probably rightly so seeing as we still haven't seen the entire team on ice at once this season.

I really like Calvert.

I don't want them to move anyone (assuming they can get a deal done with Atkinson), really. Calvert is a solid PKer with wheels and is a pesky bottom four guy, Letestu can play any situation, Atkinson has lots of offensive skill. Leopold would be an easy come, easy go type deal since he's been in the press box most of his time here.

Hey Jarmo- Don't trade any of the free agent forwards unless it's a worthwhile deal or you're sure there's no way you're getting Atkinson locked down. Calvert had two goals the other night & set up the game-winning shortie tonight. Letestu can do everything. This team probably deserves another shot together next year.

Despite all the bullshit with regard to lots of injuries and occasional terrible games with a fair number of NHL-caliber players in the lineup, the CBJ are still hovering around .500. Think of what they might've been able to do with a full lineup. :shepicide:

Can't wait for James Wisniewski to get traded to the Kings for garbage and lead them to another Stanley Cup :suicide:

http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/eye-on-hockey/25079601/report-blue-jackets-shopping-james-wisniewski-ahead-of-deadline

I was wondering who the Kings would call up from Columbus for this year's playoff run.

Wisniewski's nice offensively until he can't keep the puck in when he's playing the point, especially on the PP allowing a SH chance and/or goal.

Of course, I type all this before I get to the post which says:


Yeah, he's going to LA and the return will be 4th Line Forward and a couple picks. What the hell happened?

e- Jarmo makes two types of trades: the Home Run (Hartnell for Umberger, Gaborik for Brassard+Dorsett+J. Moore) and the Head-Scratcher (Gaborik for Frattin+2nd+Conditional 3rd). Let's see what this might turn out to be.

Giving this its own post so it doesn't get lost with the Wiz talk, but apparently some insider on HNIC last week said the Jackets are willing to listen to offers on any defenseman not named Murray or Savard.

There is absolutely no reason to move Kevin Connauton.

If Wiz is moved, it'd either be for a large return or because he's become some sort of rear end in a top hat in the room disliked by teammates a la Jeff Carter was said to be. Otherwise, I'm not sure I like the idea of breaking much of this team up. If not for injuries, this team is probably in the hunt, if not in a playoff spot.

Might as well.

This is interesting. You have a team that seems to believe they can make THIS postseason (as unlikely as that is) and wants to work at getting there. That blows the poo poo out of the personality of teams in the Rick Nash era, whether it be 2011-12 when it was over in November or teams pre-2010 (except 2008-09 and maybe 2007-08 before Howson didn't get Brad Richards and Adam Foote longed for the Rockies). Those teams weren't that good and had moronic leadership, but Dubi, Hartnell, Johansen, Foligno et al want to go down swinging.

This is the first time you could argue they could be sellers since 2011-12 and even then they're stuck in the middle because a) they're not going to the playoffs, but b) there's absolutely no reason to blow it the hell up because with 4-5 more wins at any point this season, they're Wild Card contenders. I probably wouldn't have been surprised if this team had a 2011-12-like record because of everybody that's been dinged up, but they're 26-28-4.

I'm intrigued to see what Jarmo has planned, if anything, but playing Let's Make a Deal better yield something other than a Zonk. Trading Umberger worked (god drat, did it work). Somebody on HF wonders if dangling Wisniewski could be a smokescreen for something bigger.

Hey, if the Rangers get Letestu and Vermette, they'll basically be 1/3rd of the way to reassembling the 2011-12 CBJ team. Nash, Brassard, J. Moore, Tube, Vermette, with Scott Arniel behind the bench. :v:

You know, the one that had Jeff Carter and was a dumpster fire? That's the one.

Vinny Prospal was extremely disappointed he wasn't brought back in Columbus. He loved the city. I seem to remember Marian Gaborik, Samuel Pahlsson, and Antoine Vermette also being disappointed to be moved.

DJExile posted:

CBJAS, what is Jarmo looking to get for Wiz anyway? Do they just have plenty of defensemen or are they trying to add some offense or what? I know very little of CBJ's needs outside of "healing" :v:

As Goetta said, RW is a need since Horton's not coming back and Cam may be dealt. Early in the season, Jarmo talked about searching for a top-line Horton replacement once he saw how the rest of the team panned out. The problem was he never got to SEE his team because everybody was hurt.

There was talk of an Anisimov for Perron swap earlier this season, but we'll just have to have him score against the CBJ into the future instead.

They actually have quite a bit of depth on D when healthy:

Wisniewski-Tyutin
JMFJ-Savard
Murray-Connauton
Prout
Leopold (UFA)
Goloubef

The problem is I don't know if anybody replaces what Wiz can do (positive aspects anyway) on that depth chart. I don't understand why Leopold hasn't played more because he's been decent when in the lineup. He was picked up when, in technical terms, Everybody On D Died. I also still don't understand why they're trying to move Wiz unless Jarmo's trying to shed more of Howson's contracts to make the team his own AND accomplish the aforementioned top-six RW goal.

Boomer, sportsgenius86, or other CBAS guys might be able to help me out on other issues, but the one thing which stuck out to me lately in Jack Johnson's Sportgame is his tendency to activate off the point too much or carry the puck into the zone like a forward, creating a problem if the puck's turned over, heading helplessly toward the blue line and a) there's nobody on the point to keep it in or b) you get a rush the other way where the other defenseman's rear end is hung out in the breeze because JMFJ's rear end is still in the offensive zone.

Piss him off good, though, and he's a beast. See his Olympic snub. I think he was the CBJ's leading scorer in the playoffs (or tied with Dubi).

I wonder if they could convert JMFJ to RW, though...

I wanted that for Wiz last year after I saw "puck hops over the stick with him on the point and results in a SHG at the other end" one too many times. It cost the CBJ a playoff spot in 2013 (SH GWG with 2 minutes to go against EDM at home) and gave Geno a hattie in Game 6 in a game which wound up 4-3. Put him (Wiz) on the point for the PP and use him as a winger the rest of the time.

-Tyrell- 3GP, 0-0-0
-Cracknell- Stats aren't on the CBJ site anymore.
-Leopold- Don't have his numbers from his stint as a forward.

Calvert can play top six. Letestu can play anywhere. Leopold is Jordan Leopold, as in the defenseman who actually played on the fourth line very briefly earlier this year. All are UFAs.

Chaput, Collins, Cracknell and Tyrell are/were AHL guys. Dano and Rychel are rookies who spent most of the season in the AHL by design.

Calvert, Letestu, Skille, Tropp, Morin, and Gibbons have been hurt, which skews what they might have been able to do.
