John Davidson says Johansen's agent has used Stamkos, Kane, Toews as negotiation comparables. #CBJ point toward Duchene, Stepan. (Dispatch)

Heh...ummmmmm....hmmmm. Yeah, no.

Soo much dirty laundry being aired.

Well, it depends - Is it Citizen Kane and Lauren Toews (who played cruise director Julie McCoy on 'The Love Boat')?

I had a feeling Getzlaf would get picked on in the comments.

None of them compare to Al Iafraite's all-star game skullet.

Blue Jackets president John Davidson turns both barrels on Ryan Johansen?s agent | Post-to-Post

I don't like that he's calling it "personal", I don't think any good can come of that choice of words. But I like how steadfast he is and that he is not putting one player above the team. That's the culture he was brought in to create. Johansen will not be in camp. And i bet that Overholdt won't be able to reach them easily once camp kicks off. They'd prefer to have Johansen, obviously. But they are knuckling down and focusing on the task at hand.

Someone who knows the CBA better than me need to explain worst case scenario. The Jackets tendered a qualifying offer. How long does that hold Johansen? If he sits out a whole season, is he a UFA or do they hold his RFA rights for 2 years? More? Just curious where all the pain lies in a prolonged holdout / lockout.


On a positive note, Josh Anderson got his third GWG in the Traverse city tourney in OT against Dallas to take home the trophy for the baby Jackets.

Bald Luongo is terrifying like that. There's your zodiac killer, I don't care if he is too young to have done it.

@andystrickland: Word is Ryan Johansen will leave Columbus today & will continue skating elsewhere until a contract agreement is reached

This might be out of date but...

I think that UFA status is determined by either age (27 years) or years played (seven). I don't think there is any scenario, barring a QO not being made, that would take RyJo to UFA any time soon.

I might be wrong though.

I gotta say, I like the fact that JD and Jarmo are playing hardball - If it were the Oilers, RyJo would already signed a 6x6 contract.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

If you draft a player how long do you retain their rights? Is it 3 years? Would the same logic apply to an RFA that doesn't sign as it would to a draft pick that doesn't sign?

I don't even notice the ads on CFL jerseys, and NHL practice jerseys already have ads, as long as they stay small, I don't think it's a big deal.

I don't think so. The qualifying offer retains a players rights until they reach UFA I believe.

And if Howson was still here, he'd have gotten more than that. Term and Dollars.

I don't think so. The qualifying offer retains a players rights until they reach UFA I believe.

If that's the case that the agent is a fool. JK/JD will not back down. The biggest thing being hurt is Johansen's career.

the reports about Horvats performance at the Young Stars didnt sound too glowing ... he didnt have any dominating shifts and you would have thought he would have ... is it the pressure? They asked him to drop weight in the offseason and now he's losing last minute defensive zone faceoffs which he never really did ... ever!

whereas i thought he was an automatic to make the team at the end of last season ... he will maybe get a 9 game sniff ... hopefully the structure of playing with veterans at camp will help him show what he really has to offer

 

[dash]

Yeah, I would give Horvat 9 games and then make the call - Besides, I think Linden Vey is going to turn some heads this season, he's a nice playmaker.

I've watched Draisaitl live a few times over the last couple of WHL seasons and I'm a fan.

However, there is no way in H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS that he's ready to be a 2nd line C in the NHL.
