Come on! Again? Jackets lose Letestu (groin) for 2-4 weeks

Just hours after losing the services of Artem Anisimov and James Wisniewski — and having already lost the services of Nathan Horton, Boone Jenner, Brandon Dubinsky, Matt Calvert and Sergei Bobrovsky — the Jackets learned they’d be without Mark Letestu for the next 2-4 weeks, due to a groin ailment.

So, the gory details:

– The Jackets are without three of their top five scorers (Dubinsky, Wisniewski, Anisimov) from last year.

– They’re without the first and only Vezina winner in franchise history (Bobrovsky).

– They’re without their No. 2, 3 and 4 centers (Dubinsky, Anisimov, Letestu)

Put another way: the project top 13 forwards, eight defenseman and two goaltenders would carry $59 million this season for the Blue Jackets. That's salary, not salary cap.
By the end of Tuesday's game, the Blue Jackets had $32 million worth of players out of the lineup.

Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep, dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren't for bad luck, the Jackets would have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me

They are going to be out of it by Christmas again and we can't even get mad about it. No team could overcome the rash of bad luck this team has had so far this season. Get one back lose two more. I've never seen anything like this. Ever.

The overtime loss (i.e. one point) last night keep them out of the cellar. Currently just 1 point ahead of Buffalo for last place in the entire NHL.

Porty or Arace wrote a piece today about good teams overcoming injuries. Described the Pens and Lightning being in worse shape last season and holding it together.
If this team doesn't right the ship soon they may as well shut it down and regroup with a top draft pick.

NHL changes lottery format ahead of highly anticipated 2015 Draft

OMJjIhi.jpg


The NHL announced Wednesday that it is changing the lottery format used to determine the top 14 picks in the NHL Entry Draft beginning in 2015. These changes now make it five percent less likely that the team that finishes in last place in the NHL will earn the first-overall pick

The team with the worst record will only have a 20% chance of getting the #1 pick in 2015.
