Aaron Portzline posted:

Forward Nathan Gerbe, who hasn't played in the NHL since 2015-16, is close to signing a contract with the Blue Jackets, sources confirmed to The Athletic late Tuesday.

The Blue Jackets' website reporter first tweeted news of the signing earlier Tuesday, saying Gerbe and the club had agreed to terms.

Gerbe is one of those players I remember playing in the league but don't remember anything specific about.

V: I want to know Torts' thoughts on this.

Vegas Flu didn't hit until the 2nd apparently. I felt like poo poo and needed sleep, but watched the 1st and thought it was a solid period by both teams.


quote:

Dubinsky's agent, Kurt Overhardt, denied that Dubinsky was sent home by the club as a disciplinary measure, and said that his client's career is not being threatened by his off-ice actions.

“He was sent home for medical diagnosis,” Overhardt said. “He's had several injuries this season. The club and my client decided that this was best. There are several issues we've been dealing with behind the scenes to get him healthy.”

I guess he was projected to return to the lineup Thursday against the Coyotes. Bolded "denied" because I misread it at first and was confused.

Hey remember when Oilers fans all loved Chiarelli for being a genius and assembling an underrated blue line and top-tier starting goalie out of a few paperclips, duct tape, surplus top line forwards and first round picks? That was funny.

They surgically removed half of his ankle in the offseason and he didn't give himself enough recovery time after coming back.

In his first 10 games back he had something like 17 points and looked great. Since then he's been atrocious compared to his usual self.

The last place team in the Metro would be the fourth place team in the Atlantic.

The Metro teams that miss the playoffs may come down to who cools off at the wrong time. Looking at the standings today, it appears it's the Rangers' and New Jersey's turn.

It was also apparently okay to trade Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson because you have to give to get. Those were heady days.

Jokinen was a waiver claim because the CBJ need center depth and forwards.

Nathan Gerbe was signed because the CBJ need center depth and forwards and also because:


...something might be horribly wrong physically with Brandon Dubinsky.

e- Also, for what it's worth since we're talking about it, Jeff Zatkoff was acquired because the AHL goaltending depth in Cleveland has been trash this year.

New Jersey is regressing hard of late. Caps are also due to fall off the cliff whenever their poor shot generation and proclivity for giving up high-danger chances finally catches up with them. (If it hasn't already — they've lost 4 of the last 5.)

The Pens play them next week which is oddly enough going to be a big game for both teams it looks like. Wouldn't have predicted that coming into the season.
