Wennberg practiced yesterday...wtf...

Had an issue in practice and left the ice early..

 

[squarelaces]

And left early due to a setback

 

[MAHJ71]

Hope Rychel makes the most of this and stays up.

 

[major major]

Yay! I want to see Rychel on Jenners wing.

I don't expect Rychel to be the savior, but I think it's good to get a young buck hungry for an NHL spot into the lineup right now to break these guys out of their 'woe-is-me' funk.

He is going to play his ass off. This is what he has been waiting for

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Can't do any worse.

Any chance of a d-man getting called up?

Never mind then...

Will this been the final straw with Rychel and his dad? No secret that his dad felt Kerby has been treated pretty crappy by CBJ. I'm sure Jarmo is going to take the best offer he gets in trade for Kerby. I don't see any way that he EVER signs with Jackets. Can't say I blame him really. In my opinion, the kid has definitely been mismanaged and jerked around.

Edit: So he has already signed, my bad. Regardless, I don't foresee a happily ever after union.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Does anyone know if he actually made the trip down to Columbus? I'm wondering if I should expect to see an exhausted Rychel tonight.

he did...all 2 hours...well 4 hours driving now

I wouldn't be surprised if they scratch him tonight. Front end of a back-to-back after a four-hour drive. Also, if he didn't skate in the Jackets morning skate, he'll have missed having a morning skate.

he hasn't been mismanaged at all.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Did he bring the team order of coffee? Probably messed up Bob's latte and was sent back

Who cares what he (or his Dad) thinks? Mismanaged? How?

When he makes a good enough impression and forces his way into the lineup, he'll be in the NHL.

THIS is why Ohio needs high speed rail

 

[zelbell]

I dont really think Rychel can be THAT angry

He knows he's the first guy up when there is a gorward injury so he will probably see a pretty decent amount of time at the NHL level this year

Who cares? You honestly don't think it matters if he feels jerked around? You believe that his dad won't have any input on his career decisions? That strikes me as a pretty dismissive attitude to have toward a prospect that has been touted (at times) as an important future member of the big club. At the same time, the organization hasn't denied that he's an expendable player, repeatedly admitting that he would be available to be traded should the right opportunity arise. That, again, in my opinion, is poor management of a young prospect. I don't see any level of trust in either side and they seem to be a bit apart in commitment and investment in his future in the NHL.

Its a bummer that he will probably be scratched for the home opener in cleveland tonight, there will probably be about 15k there tonight. Definitely should be an NHL atmosphere.
