Makes oodles of sense if Columbus is willing to part with what is necessary.
CBJ was trying to be competitive. They got Monahan to come play with Johnny. This team has just been through so much crap. Getting EP and having him turn it around would be wonderful for the team, the city and honestly the freaking league. The more teams start popping off and doing well, the better the league is.
As for EP, man... is there a better town to go to if you are struggling but willing to put in work. Columbus and Ohio LOVE hockey, but make no mistakes OSU football is #1, followed by the Bengles or the Browns depending on which side of the state you're from. But the entire state backs the hockey team and they really do get good attendence considering their performance over the years. Nationwide was a really nice arena when I visited three years ago. The surrounding area had tons of restaurants and pubs. Parking was a pain, but that's like saying the sun will come up in the morning.
What would Vancouver take, that CBJ is willing to part with though? They are building something but unfortunately Johnny's loss has left them woefully short on premier talent. Not sure how much young talent they are willing to part with, but they'll have to do something if they want EP.
