I'm anti tank and not draft savvy, that said, are there any "generational" players in the draft this year???

Yep, but we only have a less than 10% chance to get him as of today

 

[DJA]

You're welcome to not miss him. But if it's because of his play, I don't know what to say other than point to his stats

Yep stats tell the whole story. We doing this again?

 

[We Want Ten]

I kinda miss the giving up a goal in :02 off of a faceoff after not taking a swing at it though.

 

[EspenK]

I thought you would be thrilled about that

That's why I said great!

As long as you point to his stats from THIS season. That's what he was referring to. Much like how Foligno's stats this season don't compare to last.

We can, but do we need to?

His stats aren't exactly amazing...especially once you realize assists are the most overrated stat in hockey

That was my point. I was being sarcastic

 

[We Want Ten]

Some puck handling Dmen would go a long ways on this team.

You mean the 3 Gs and 9 Pts in his last 18 games or the 7 Gs in his last 49 games? There is no doubt Joey is a great talent but he isn't productive when he isn't motivated. Tonight he is motivated but what happens in the next game when it isn't Columbus? The kid just hasn't proven to be self motivated and who knows if he ever gets there.

Edit: wow a lot happened in the time it took me to write my post

Oh, please do tell why?

It can stop whenever you choose to make it stop. Up to you.

But Prout!

I know the season history and I know the Blue Jackets from top to bottom..... That said I can't believe how poorly this season has turned out...

The entire organization: goaltending, offense, defense, coaching, management and broadcasting has failed....

After nearly 20 years is all I can say is I'm sad and sorry....

That said, tomorrow is another day...

 

[EspenK]

We have dominated in the face off circle winning over 60%. Tell me again why that is important?

 

[We Want Ten]

Lol this game has had something for everybody so far haha.

 

[NotWendell]

Oh, please do tell why?

Two words: second assists.

Frankly no one gives a damn

Seriously if you don't miss Johansen that's a lie. He would be on everyone's top5 list of players when we went to the playoffs and was scapegoated. This team Needed Jones and Johansen. Create a hole fill another.

Don't project your feelings on to others. I don't miss him one iota. Better yet, stop masquerading as a CBJ fan

He has had a tough year, and his stats still say he's a top liner. His goal production has dipped, but his season hasn't gone very well, and he's still producing at a good clip. The player we saw the past two years is closer to the real johansen then the one this year. I 100% believe that, and I think I'll be proven correct next year.

I don't miss him at all, but thanks for trying.

 

[Cowumbus]

Anyone else comments/thoughts on Kukan?

Second assists still means a goal was scored.

Gotta disagree ... Top 5 player ? Currently johansen is 25 for centers in points. Boone is 42, Dubinski is 43
