Jones didn't look too great tonight...

We should trade him. Nobody on our team is allowed to have a bad game.

Milano, Forsberg, and Hannikainen assigned to Monsters

Dubois still around?

 

[GoJackets1]

What a surprise- they go with the veteran backup. Clearly they're trying to protect Korpi and Forsberg from seeming desirable in the expansion draft.

Also, It's still preseason, so I'm not too worried yet. Although, the Jackets always play down to their competition, so hopefully they'll start playing like an NHL team when they play NHL teams.

Is Korpisalo injured?

expected out 4 weeks

 

[Dr. Fire]

Goalie tandem settled.

-- The Blue Jackets made three roster cuts after Thursday's loss to Boston. Forwards Sonny Milano and Markus Hannikainen and goaltender Anton Forsberg were sent to minor-league Cleveland, lowering the number of healthy bodies to 26 with one preseason game left to play: Saturday at Pittsburgh.

Dubois still around?

I bet he gets 9 games then back to Juniors.

 

[JacketsDavid]

I bet he gets 9 games then back to Juniors.

Be interesting to see how many games he actually plays. I think he may get 9 games just to get him a couple paychecks, and maybe plays in a couple games?

I don't see any harm in seeing him in real NHL action as the option to send him down is there.

Big thing is - can he help us win (is he one of 12 best forwards) or is this just a reward? Based on pre-season I think it may be more of a reward, rather than the tem intends to play him 9 games. Again just my opinion.

Do you guys see Werenski playing on the 1st PP this year? Who are the point players on the PP?

Well, they're still utilizing the 1-3-1 - I believe the look the other night was Werenski...Atkinson and Bjorkstrand with Gagner/Wennberg centering and Foligno as a net front presence.

I would imagine Jones and JJ could make a 2nd PP pair of a more traditional 2 D high setup. Savard could sneak in there for some time as well and it's not like Murray is a slouch either. Only D I wouldn't expect to see time on the power play is Prout.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Dubois still around?

He's going back to CB, but yes.

If we're not settled on the 4th line, Auston Watson and Linden Vey are both on waivers right now. I don't know that much about either guy, but they're young, were recently highly prized, and would have made other clubs. Watson is huge and I hear he has good shutdown ability.

Portzline on twitter was wondering about Watson. They would be 4th in the picking order.

I don't think it's a reward. I think it's more of a "see what you need to learn?" thing. It's the chance to show him the gaps in his game and develop a plan to work on them in juniors.

 

[JohnLennon]

Is Gagner really looking like he's going to be playing in a top 6 role? I was sure Wennberg was their guy until camp.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I think their top three lines will play very similar minutes, so I don't think there is a top 6, but a top 9.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

If Dubois gets nine games in Columbus, does that mean Kukan starts the season in Cleveland?

It doesn't look like Dubois will get any games this year. Last two preseason games, he hasn't played and the Jackets have rostered their regulars for those games.

How has Bjorkstrand looked so far?

How has Bjorkstrand looked so far?

Slow start, but he's heated up as of late.

Is he gonna play top 6?

Martin Frk was put on waivers by the Red Wings too. A legit option.
