CBJ got much more dangerous today.
Lose Señor Suckitude, and you've really got something

Maybe. If someone as talented as Saad was in Torts' doghouse so bad I think it's 50-50 that Panarin winds up there too.

Also 50-50 that Panarin isn't as lethal away from Kane even if he is on a line with someone as talented as Wennberg.

We'll see. Today it looks very good but you never know what Torts is thinking.

Provided he follows through, it could be good;

I hope they give Bjorkstrand a shot on Panarin's off wing. Bjork can distribute the puck well.


Jackets drafting sentimentally today:
The son of Bob's hero

And a local boy:

Kid's good. Well respected by the coaches I know who've worked with him.

Two years ago, I would have flown into a rage at this news.

Now it's cautious optimism. To his credit he has seemed to let the boys play.And 2018 is about when you would expect the implosion to happen.

Jackets sign Wennberg to six-year contract

Wow. Skipped the bridge. I guess the kid has shown the team all they needed to see. Good for him, and good for the team, provided it's not Draisaitl money.

Edit: Not Draisaitl money
$4.9 million AAV for 6 years

17-18: $3.5M
18-19: $4.5M
19-20: $5.35M
20-21: $5.35M
21-22: $5.35M
22-23: $5.35M

Could be a huge bargain in three years.

Oh, and Twatwaffle on the beat:
Portzline: Blue Jackets can't cave in contract talks with...

Was tweeting that the Jackets and Wennberg were "not close". Around half an hour before the announcement was made.

As I said, the bridge is dead for guys who even remotely perform.

Seth Jones could be the NHL's next superstar

My first Adidas jersey might just be Seth.

Jackets loan Josh Anderson, assign Markus Nutivaara to Cleveland

Anderson probably thought "I signed, I'm in".

Not so fast, Joshua.

Goal and assist for Saad against his old team. Nothing for Panerin.

Saad is on fire to start the year, but so is that whole team

Their game Monday night should be a shit show considering how both teams have started.

DGB said it should be a 9-4 Leafs win.

DGB said it should be a 9-4 Leafs win.

He called the 8-5 win so he must be right

So, the rumo(u)r over the summer is that the Jackets offer was Sonny Milano, Ryan Murray and a first for Duchene and Joe said it wasn't enough. That's half of the Jackets goals so far this season.


Thank Goodness for Joe Sakic.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

There was also a rumor of Hamonic, top prospect (Barzal?) and a 1st for Duchene. How he didn't take one of those offers is beyond me.
