Line Combos: CBJ Roster Discussion/Line Combos/Injury Report

[majormajor]

I seem to remember seeing something about Gudbranson being expected back soon? Or maybe that was a speculated timeline a while ago.

Either way I don't think we can use Desharnais with Gudbranson in the lineup.

From today's Athletic article in which each beat writer picked a need for his team and James Mirtle offered up a fair payment:

Target: First-round pick — Aaron Portzline

Cost: A healthy Boone Jenner, C (CBJ)* — Mirtle
(* 8-team no-trade list)

Reality: There’s only one way a Blue Jackets general manager should ever consider trading Jenner: if Jenner wants to be traded. Jenner is not only the captain but the heart and soul of a franchise that is finally headed in the right direction and is not far from being consistently competitive. He’s also really grown in recent seasons in his ability to lead. Ivan Provorov for a first-rounder? Sure. Not Jenner. — Portzline

Now why Porty thinks our biggest need is a first I don't know but I think his rebuttal to Mirtle is spot on.

Who do you think our #1 target should be and what would you give up? Try to be realistic and specific ( knowing full well this will soon turn into a debate about OT strategy )

There’s no reason to trade Jenner. We could really use him right now. I’m excited to get him back whenever we do

I think we need to have a better update than “Progressing” for a guy that missed 10 games already. What the heck happened to him ?

• Winger Yegor Chinakhov hasn’t played since Nov. 27 vs. Montreal, missing the last nine games with a lower-body injury. Today vs. Carolina will be game No. 10. The club has not offered a timeline on Chinakhov’s return, but his agent, Shumi Babaev, told The Athletic that Chinakhov hopes to resume skating next week.

Wait wait wait…didn’t they say “upper body injury” originally??

Honestly though, I hate that we don’t know what part of his body was actually injured and for him to miss this amount of time.

Earn one point, good. Earn two points, better. I'm starting to see how this hockey works.

I thought you learned this a long time ago. Every point is critical. Ty Conklin will be in touch soon.

I don't like it as a band name but "League Average Goaltending" would be a great album name. DO they still make albums?
