Boy, it's early October! I can't wait for the regular season to kick off! Wait. What do you mean there's no hockey this week? We have to wait until New Year's? Maybe? Tampa won the COVID Cup, the NHL somehow went the entire thing without a positive case but Connor McJesus caught it once he got out. Patric Hornqvist is now a Fancy Cat, Hank is no longer on Broadway, Max Domi is now a Jacket, Josh Anderson is now with Le Habs. Free Agency is 25 hours away. Bring forth the TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADES.

Do not like the Metro becoming more of a bloodbath. For what it's worth, Porty listed Laine, Hoffman, and Johnny Gaudreau as other potential targets for the CBJ in addition to Hall. Barzal would be out of left field, but Jarmo did talk about using offer sheets. All four would command quite a bit of coin.

fawning deference posted:I thought Murray was bad, but it's interesting that he's actually good just constantly hurt according to SAS. He's a fun one year gamble on a team badly in need of reliable skating defensemen. My dad, brother, and I went to a Caps/CBJ game just before the Johansen/Jones deal and, during the first, Ovechkin had the puck one on one with Murray. Ovie had half a step on him but Murray did a hell of a job of riding him off the puck and taking away a scoring chance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MognzYcDDYY&t=30s Porty said going into the postseason that, if healthy, the CBJ had three potentially elite defensemen on their blue line- Jones, Werenski, and Murray.

Laine probably requires Werenski going the other way which, given Z's talent and the combination of Murray and Nutivaara having been shipped out, is probably a non-starter. I want Johnny Hockey. Dude looked up to Cam Atkinson, so he'd have incentive to want to come here.

I get why they're doing it, but is Tyler Johnson the "best" player to go on waivers recently? A 40 point pace over an 82 game season is a dip, but still serviceable.

Adam Foote was Captain, while Fedorov, Nash, and David Vyborny rotated as alternates.

DJExile posted:"Chill Factor" is a great book and you can knock it out in a weekend. Dear God, this. If you have any interest in behind the scenes life at a hockey team, especially in the minors, do yourself a favor: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/chill-factor-david-paitson/1120009781. The book hits how the team came to be, how they were a surprising hit yet had to deal with a bunch of adversity to survive, and how they contributed to the CBJ coming to town, all in spite of OSU. It also takes a dive into the mess between Ohio State, the NHL, and the then-potential arena/sports complex which was kneecapped. Since we're on the topic, Due to the combination of the Coliseum occasionally being booked for other events, a lack of suitable ice rinks in the city, and  if OSU was going to let them use theirs, the Chill would occasionally be displaced to play home games in two different barns in which Ohio metro area which also had an ECHL team?AsInHowe posted:Everything about the Columbus Chill is rad and good.
