WTF?

This is looking more and more like a team transformation than anything else...

This is a lot of turnover from last year's team already and I seriously don't believe they are anywhere near done yet.

two relatively big mobile defensemen. you may remeber backman from his blues days. 6-4 210lbs 5 year vet (pretty much all with the blues) decent at getting the puck out of the zone, good poise. #4-5 defencemen. wroth 18 pts from the back end. 2.3m cap hit, ufa next year.

tyutin 6-3 210b russian. 2.8m cap hit signed through 2011-2012. worth 20-25 pts with more upside. nice all around game.good size, great hockey sense. very attrative contract (especially after the last few days) nhl wise #3 dman.

i said i thought youd see healthy turnover (i said what 5-8 new faces) the team is finding an identity. big, rough, rugged, defense and goaltenders. oh yeah if you dont have pazzy and you play in a fantasy league, this maybe the time to take him...

Actually, it may have been USA today or something, whatever came up on a Google search for their bios -- but TSN says they're both lefties too, which I found interesting after you listed all our lefty Dmen earlier.

Jackets trade Zherdev, Fritsche
Receive two defensemen from Rangers
Wednesday, July 2, 2008 4:30 PM
By Aaron Portzline

The Blue Jackets have traded wingers Nikolai Zherdev and Dan Fritsche to the New York Rangers for defensemen Fedor Tyutin and Christian Backman, The Dispatch has learned.

Both Tyutin, 24, and Backman, 28, are regarded as puck-moving defensemen, able to pass the puck out of the defensive zone and play the point on a power-play unit. Tyutin had five goals, 15 assists and a plus-5 rating in 82 games with the Rangers last season, while Backman had three goals, 15 assists and a minus-2 rating in 63 games with St. Louis and New York.

Tyutin is signed through the next four seasons. He?ll make $2.250 this season. Backman will make $3.4 million this season and will be an unrestricted free agent next summer.
