Thanks THG: Elvis to Edmonton 🤔
Columbus Coyotes
Bring back Laine?
I wish nothing but the best for coach Bowness and Columbus. If he says things will be different over there, I'm obligated to believe it.
Provorov was moved out of Philly due to a culture problem, and now he's on CBJ, where there's also a culture problem…. Hmmm 🤔🤔
I feel like we haven't seen any contracts yet for the 2023 draft class…. Is this common? We are already talking about SJ extending celebrini quickly but bedard, Carlsson, fantini, benson, etc are all still not extended
I feel bad for Blue Jackets fans. I feel like this season is not their fault because losing a superstar so soon after recruiting him, never playing a single game on the ice, really setback the franchise in ways that cannot be easily fixed. Losing Johnny Hawke is a shock to the system that very few franchises will ever experience. You can't just replace Johnny Hockey with someone else with such a sweetheart deal in a very short period of time. They basically planned for him, and then they suddenly had to compete without him permanently.
I will blame leadership if they don't bounce back in a few years, but right now I feel like they're still trying to ground themselves after such a devastating loss. Like I said, very few teams deal with such a serious impactful loss.
I really wish the jackets had madw the playoffs at some point in the last 3 seasons. Especially 3 ago. The story with Jonny could have made the story of the playoffs!
Vancouver got better after Garland left, and Columbus started to collapse after he arrived.
Makes you wonder…
Columbus can’t just expect Werenski to carry them.
It would’ve helped them a lot to not lose games in regulation or OT when leading going into the third period. So many lost points over that. We need Fantilli to be the superstar he has the potential to be so it’s not Werenski leading the team in points.
This incarnation of the Blue Jackets is the quintessential Don Waddell team; frustratingly average. Don doesn't believe in prospects, so he trades young guys in favor of middling veterans and hoping it works.
Their upside is minimal, due to investing in guys like Provorov. There's no prospects that can fight their way onto the team because of the late-20 and 30 year old forwards glutting the lineup. Zero playmakers, because DW went all in on six different versions of Cole Sillinger. And I don't see this getting much better than bubble team
If the Wild don't extend Quinn Hughes this Summer, which is tough given their cap situation, then one of two things happen next year: If the Wild don't do well next year before the trade deadline (weird tanking, rampant injuries, etc.), then the CBJ can get Quinn Hughes at the trade deadline or if the Wild does d0 well, the CBJ can pick Quinn Hughes up when he bcomes a UFA in the Summer of 2027. They have to make sure they have space for him when that time comes while still having some space to fill an injury gap that might come up. Coyle, Gudbranson, and Jenner are too old to give long contracts, three year extensions at most under $5M, $4M, and $4M respectively. Pay Greaves (keep Elvis as a backup), Zamula (no more than five years at $3M per), Fantilli (this one costs you), and Sillinger (put some muscle on him in the off-season and move him to Center). Also, pick up another potential bottom six center this Summer even if he needs system development all next year like a Ryan Suzuki or Nikita Alexandrov, both youngish, six foot one left-handers. Marchment is a tricky one because of the extension to Garland who is the same age, much smaller, righthanded, scores left on a higher line, etc. If you can get Marchment for the same (5 years at $6M per), I think you have to give it to him and be happy with it.
Wonder if you could do a session on why you think teams have these collapses towards the end of the season
Bowness' press conference at the end was one of the most powerful hockey speeches I've watched. The frustration, disappointment, and raw passion was unbelievable, I was flabbergasted watching it. I truly hope for the organization and its fans that Columbus can truly turn it around, and I hope that Bowness' is there to make it happen. I don't know if it can without him making good on his promise to oust every player that wants to keep giving up as they routinely do.
Trade fantilli to minnesota we'll give you ek and brodin
Have to give them credit for the impressive turnaround under Bowness. Also happy with the player responses to Bowness' criticisms at end of season. I think there's more positives than negatives.
the fans were a hair's breadth away from running Jenner out of town on a rail… I don't think he comes back
Great content as always!
Losing Johnny Gaudreau is very sad… I am not making light of it. I hope next season they stop honoring Johnny every home game…
you can't just import a winning culture to a place that never won anything. Columbus busted draft over draft in the last 20 years since Voracek, who they traded after 3 season, and rick nash.
it all start with the scouting team and management. they haven't done anything good apart fantili who fell on their lap. you can't build winning team culture with losers at the helm.
