My entire argument is he should have punched him in the face. Bobby you're on the other side of that.

The only bush league play was the cross check to the head.

Lol, which one is worse, Grieg or this one? I'd say this one? Notice the lack of cross checks to the head?

Leave it to Bobby to accuse someone of.... something?, but then be immediately dismissive when they respond.
Don't enter a conversation if you don't want to talk, man.

NHL marketing Fantilli now. He might have a C on his jersey by the time this rolls around.
I posted in the Prospects thread on the new Class Action lawsuit alleging that t hecCHL (QMJHL ,OHL, and WHL) are violating U.S.Anti-Trust laws in that the plaintiffs allege that the CHL operates as a Cartel limiting players rights to play for whoever they want to and also suppresses their salaries and other economic rights (like with NIL's use of their names andv mages to earn revenue for themselves) ...The plaintiffs also are calling for an injunction that the CHL draft (of 16-17 year olds and exceptional 15year olds) be stopped because without a CBA, it restricts where players can play ...they cannot choose what team they wish to play for.
This does not challenge the NHL Entry Draft which is covered by the NHL CBA ...but the NHL is also named in this lawsuit as a partner with the CHL because it funnels money to support the CHL and pays teams for drafting players from the CHL.
I pointed out several messy issues in this lawsuit (I am not a lawyer) ...apparently tge pjaintiffsxare some current CHL players who are trying to unuonize and this forcexa CBA on the CHL to resolve some of these restrictivevissues by bargaining process..
This implies that the plaintiffs in the class action are all over 18 years old because I do not think minors (under 18 ) are allowed to form a union or join a union...must be of legal age I think?
This coukd mean a separation of interests by younger kid players wanting to get drafted by a CHLteam and who would accept any restrictive rules on their earning power or right to choose where to play just for the chance to play in the top Junior Development leagues of the CHL, vs . the interests of the older 18+ ages who technically are adults for legal purposes who can unionize to better their economoc remuneration or demand a portal system to decide what team is best for their continued development and attraction for pro teams wanting their services via drafting them or signing them as free agents.
Since this is filed in a U S. COURT with U S. Anti-Trust laws in play ,maybe the Canadian clubs can avoid being penalized for damages and relief sought if they simply dump any U S. Pkayers on their teams ...and maybe the CHL avoids any damage penalties awarded if they dump all their U S. teams in the 3 leagues under thecCHL umbrella?
If damages awarded then it could crush the economic feasibility of the CHL to continue in operation..
This would affect drastically the NHL pipeline and the NHL Draft if there were no CHL
Imagine no QMJHL,OHL and WHL!).
If the CHL wants to continue it might need to allow a CBA for its players over the age of 18 to be bargained for if they form a certified union..
Whether the unionized 18+ pkayers can bargain for the interests of the younger underx18s ,I do not know but tgeyoubgervones who cannot unionionize or vote on bargaining issues woukd have to accept any deals made for all players in tge CHL negotiated by the unionized bargaining unit anyway.
IF the CHL decides it cannot continue by allowing for some kind of CBA with unionized players,and they close down it could force them to either re-opeb as a strictly u-18 set of Junior leagues ...or if they might go back to a system where by NHL teams each sponsor/own or co-own a CHL team (as on the old days when Bobby Hull and Stan Nikita played in the OHL with St Catherines as a Junuor affiliated team run by the Blackhawks ...But to avoid U.S Anti-Trustvkaws eitger no pkayers on such teams can be Americans and bo such teams can be based in American cities IR they operate as ONLY an 18 years + Junuior League and the adult players join eitgerctgeir own union or maybe joining the NHLPA to bargain a CBA with these Junior leagues?
Very messy issues...a threat to the current NHL pipeline if it forces tge CHL to close down or change the age range it currently is designed for .
Or a threat to NHL teams' profit lines if they must subsidize the CHL cover increased expenses due to being forced to pay much more to players
than currently....
As to any work restriction imposed by the CHL entry draft,I think the CHL may argue players are not forced to go to teams that draft them...they can:
. Play in Junior A leagues then go to University in the NCAA or to a Canadian USports team .
.in some cases play in a eiro pro league...
So there is no total restriction on where they must play.
Your comments on this potential quagmire for the CHL and NHL please....

That's neat. Columbus deserves a bit more attention, maybe that will light a fire under their butts to try and improve, and...
... that was fast.

He hasn't been the same since Bowman was let go.
The clock has been ticking since the Hawks fired Stunley Blowman. Without Stunley to fleece in trades, Jarmo had no where to hide.

RIP Fugu
Baffling how he stayed around with almost nothing to show for his time in organization
1 playoff series win which was a result of Bobrovsky who then bolted for Florida that offseason

Once you’re in charge of hiring a coach and he gets fired before a single game? You have to go.

What I was always trying to get out of CBJ fans defending him was, was he even selling rebuilding? Because he didn't act like it. They have been trying to be a playoff team with their signings and moves all but the 1 year they sold Jones im after 2021. Even then, they traded Cam Atkson for someone the same age. They have acquired some high end talent but not intentionally so.

Columbus is really good at sucking and drafting good prospects. They are terrible at development or organizational path. Not sure if the GM is enough or they need to move higher to start an organizational rebuild with MGMT.

Exactly. They just draft players and throw them on the roster after 1 season. Than the prospect struggles and the team gets minimal results.
And when they are not developing their own prospects correctly, they are trading for other teams high end busts (boqvist)

oof hes still clinging to them "building something" lol
Laine and Johnny big long contracts on 1 dimensional wingers. Boqvist Bust. Silinger maybe bust. Gudbanson monster contract for no reason. Bringing in Provorov and Signing Severson YUCk. Elvis contract bust.
Did Jarmo buy out Wennberg too?
