it'd be a very stupid thing to hand Anisimov 3rd line minutes after the showdown he put in Yaroslavl, i'd say. the guy deserves a shot in the top-6. also you're getting a very hot goalie in Bob.

“@Aportzline: To be clear: Boone Jenner will come for NHL camp, per #CBJ John Davidson. Whether he sticks in #NHL will be determined by his performance.”
“@Aportzline: #CBJ D John Moore (concussion) has been cleared to resume skating, could be ready for regular season.”
“@Aportzline: #CBJ D John Moore (concussion) has been cleared to resume skating, could be ready for regular season.”
Here we go again. Not 24 hours into a new tentative agreement and this crappy conventional wisdom rears it's ugly head.
Let this be one of Davidson's first decisions (along with the rest of the scouting staff) and not some lame decision based on uneducated hockey fans nonsense. Sure we can have opinions but most of us here haven't seen him play yet this year and we haven't seen how camp shakes out. Talking about going in with nothing and making a decision.
How about we see camp before such declarations shall we? He, like every other player invited, deserves a shot in camp to make their case. Beyond that his performance is totally meaningless.
Thx, bye.

As much as I would love to see Boone Jenner in Columbus; in a shortened season where we are highly unlikely to make the playoffs, I say save the contract year, send him back to juniors and let him continue to dominate.

So many questions but I, for one, am excited for hockey again. I'm pissed at both parties but I love hockey and simply can't wait. I'm one of the suckers they know will come back no matter what. 
As for the team, I'm OK with Jenner getting a look but think he'll finish the year in Junior. I also think there is a good chance that Johan stays in Springfield. He's playing top line minutes as a center (getting 20+ per night as I understand it) and that would be good for his development. Granted he's played in the NHL so I have no problem if he is up with the big club. Camp will decide I'm sure but I do like that he's playing top minutes at center right now. JD seems hell bent on development and continuing to strengthen the system and young players. Here's how I could see this working out:
Umberger - Brassard - Atkinson
Foligno - Anisimov - Dubinsky
Prospal - Letestu - Dorsett
Boll - MacKenzie - Fehr (sign as UFA)
extra - Gillies, Russell
Wisniewski - Johnson
Nikitin - Tuytin
Moore - Auoin
extra - Prout
Bobrovsky
Mason
Obviously signing a guy like Fehr is a crap shoot. I was looking for some more size in the lineup and someone that could theoretically play in multiple situations. Doubt it happens but just throwing it out there.
Will be interesting that's for sure.... I just hope it doesn't take too long to get good hockey happening.

Hopefully Boone makes it, kid is fun to watch I just hope that if hes on the team he's at least a 3rd liner. As for Johansen, from the games I've seen he didn't dominate anything. Maybe Davidson will believe he's ready and he very well could play well in the NHL but we shall see when training camp comes up. As for D, Johnny Moore if he's ready, is a pretty sure thing for making the team. Supposedly dominated Springy and I see Erixon being the next best dman over Savard. It'll be interesting if they want to keep Timmy and Savard as a 7th dman though. Too excited for hockey!

But it would help in understanding the new CBA

i'd personally rather the #7 dman be either Holden or another vet and let the kids play as much as they can in springy....unless they're ready for the time...could Moore/Erixon be ready as 3rd pair with Aucoin as the 7?

If I were in charge... I would also let Johansen, Calvert, Savard, Jenner, and JAM have shots at making it but they would have to play at a 2nd line or pairing level in camp.
I would see if I could call up Murray without burning a year of his ELC. He wouldn't play but would be with the coaches, trainers, and team doctors constantly. He would become familiar with our plays, the city, the team, and could have the team provide medical supervision.

Anisimov is not a 1st line center in any pro league. Even though he looks like Crosby on that Movember picture:

i see you are from Minsk... guess you are still disappointed by the 2011 KHL playoffs.
Sure everyone is allowed opinions. Just try and make it an educated one. I have no idea who should be on the team (of the contested slots), which lines, etc. That's why we have camp, as short as it will end up being.
We are only a couple of months or so into the Davidson reign and we are already making declarations without giving him a chance to make his own. Kind of silly really.
It's amazing how many people will make decisions without ever seeing anything on ice to evaluate.
Not at all. And Anisimov has nothing to do with that Loko team, he was in NYC at that time. He's just not a good passer, for Loko he scored more shorthanded goals than PP goals.

Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Martin Hanzal plays a huge role for the Yotes without putting up big numbers, and Artem did put up some nice looking numbers next to Dubi and Callahan not too long ago. I don't see how Brassard can be seen so far ahead of him in your eyes.
I agree with this lineup, except that I'd like to see JAM (or letestu) on a 3rd scoring line with johan and prospal, while boll is on the fourth line. JAM seems to have a lot of offensive creativity and might help johan find the scoring touch.
i hope (like you listed) anisimov and dubinsky get first line minutes while brass/umberger show what they can do on the second line. brassard regularly seemed sort of overmatched on the first line and anisimov seems like he would be up to the task.

He's RFA after this season.. then he might jump to KHL, I think that was the biggest fear.

And are you going to be the one who determines whether someones "opinion" is an educated one or not? Just asking.
