OFFICIAL Columbus Blue Jackets Thread

[BuckeyeMike80]

As I just posted in another thread, San Jose needs 5 players and needs to do it with less than $350,000 in cap space left.

Columbus should put a package together to get Jumbo Joe. Sure he sucks in the playoffs, but with him setting up Nash, Nash could score 80 friggin goals.

Hypothetically - what do you think it would take to get Thornton? Filatov + first + bottom 6 player?

I don't know my trade values very well. Wild guess on my part.

Probably. Maybe not even that much if the sharks are really up against the cap.

And Columbus could pull one of their better D-men too maybe.

[3074326]

Not sure if I'd rather see them get a puck-moving d-man or a good center for Nash. I think Brassard can be the guy if he can stay healthy, but the addition of Thornton would be insane.

They really need a puck mover.

There are rumors that Jack Johnson is being shopped.. it would probably take a lot for him, but he has loads of potential..

nash want "mad" lets put it this way he has now signed 3 pro contracts, one took 11 hours, the 20some million dollar deal took 42 hours and this one took what? three days for 60m+

ill be frank, nash didnt want to drag this out. he knew what button to push. do you blame howson for offering a lower contract value to start at? not low enough to really tick him off.

non existent. shut down 3 third checking (check is the key word) something hitch loves.

not really, its a small increase over his last year of his old contract then 100k raise a year. big number but would have fetched more in the open market. high but reasonable.

brass was about a ppg player pre injury. he should have a very nice season if he stays healthy.

[3074326]

Yeah, I didn't mean for it to sound like it wasn't a reasonable deal. I was pumped. I think he's worth every penny for his contributions on and off the ice. He's the man.

This doesn't seem fair/equitable at all: Mathieu Garon making $1.2 M and Steve Mason making $903K each of the next two years.

Yeah, I know Garon has been in the league 8 years and Mason was a rookie last year; but it still isn't in proportion to their value to the team.

Gord Murphy's son selected (Puck-rakers)

murphys kid makes the usntd team. first central ohioan to ever do so. this is the first year central ohio also had players drafted in the chl (canadian jrs [ohl])

[jimotis4heisman]

Chimera On The Block? (Puck-rakers).

To that end, The Dispatch has learned that earlier this summer Howson offered left winger Jason Chimera to San Jose for defenseman Christian Ehrhoff, but Sharks GM Doug Wilson declined.

nothing you guys generally didnt hear here. glut of wingers, it seems likely that one will be shipped off for a guy who can hopefully run the point. (id also like to see howson toss something towards the canes and see what anton babchuk[rfa dman who cant agree with terms with the canes] would take to get off their hands.)

YouTube - Anton Babchuk Highlight Video

cap numbers are essentially irrelevant to cbj, the number to look at is actual payroll.
erhoff is a 3.1m cap hit but his actually payroll is 3.14 and 3.4.

Well its not like there is a lot of drama building up to IU week. Stay in C-bus and go see the Jackets.

My question is which stadium will have more people from Columbus in it that day, Nationwide or IU's place?
