Winning is the Fun
“I have zero confidence right now,†Dednimnepo said when asked what he thought the chances were the Blue Jacket organization could put together a consistently entertaining (winning) team.
The biggest hesitation I have about trading Cam is how it affects the atmosphere in the locker room. As a fan I try to look at everything as a business so I try not to get TOO attached to any one player. But I feel like cam is well loved by many in the locker room and I wonder how that could affect things.
Packaging Cam and Hartnell might be a good solution to maximize you're return. If we can turn them into a blue chip prospect and a 1st or 2nd I would be satisfied. I understand were not making the playoffs this year and I'm tempering expectations for next season. But Jarmo has to do what is best for the longevity of this club. And I firmly believe building a solid foundation is the key to that. So if it takes another year of sucking to build a perennial contender, so be it.
blue chip prospects don't come cheap. . You know players on the cusp of being NHL regulars.Gee.. I sure hope that's not all we'd get or that you would be satisfied with that...
Since when is Hartnell considered mortar? He was a replacement for RJ that turned out WAAAAAAY better than anyone here imagined. You don't build on pieces with low shelf life. He's got a year or two MAX before he starts to crumble.I read this as "we need to build a solid foundation, so let's consider trading away most of our mortar for a few more gambling tokens for bricks."

He's was replacing what RJ was supposed to be doing, which was producing. And he also replaced RJ in the locker room as the vet.Umberger for Hartnell was never about a mere replacement; it was a simple economic move. Philly wanted out from under two years of a contract and figured that the older Hartnell would break down sooner anyway, and wrongly guessed that Umberger would rebound. Columbus knew they were getting a superior player and were willing to throw in an additional asset and take on an extra two years on an older player.
And who knows when Hartnell will start to crumble. We've been waiting for a decade for Iginla and Jagr to fall apart and it hasn't happened, while we've seen much younger players like Dustin Brown and Mike Richards fall apart a lot sooner.
folks, Letestu, MacKenzie, and Wiz are gone....please, let them go! the constant griping about 'woulda, shoulda, coulda' is getting old...concentrate on what's in the cupboard right now and not on what WAS there...rant over, thank you
Hartnell to Chicago for Bickell and Dano? If we have room when Jones / Jenner extend

wings fan . wings scouted cbj at the nyi few days back now cbj scouted wings tonite .
after thinking it over the idea came to mind holland might like jj and a player cbj might have interest in is tatar . wings can possibly fill tatars shoes pretty much with pulkinen , plus holland has a state of michigan ties culture going on right now which jj fits into . though more / lesser peices involve as wings are against cap

Rumor is that EDM are sellers (obviously). But let's say we don't win the lotto, but still have a top 10 pick. Would anyone be interested in moving our 2016 first + for RNH? Allows us to add another core player to help the team NOW, not hopefully in 2-3 seasons.
I know we've discussed the cap issues, but I believe e could work around it.
