Columbus Blue Jackets (Official Thread)

Dispatch

4/21/06

If you listen to Blue Jackets president and general manager Doug MacLean, it sounds as if Marc Denis’ days in Columbus are numbered. But it might not be wise to read too much into such talk.

MacLean commented recently several times that he was prepared to let forward David Vyborny go. He mentioned Vyborny’s age (31); twice said he wouldn’t "overpay" for him; asked, "Has he done enough to get a million-and-a-half-dollar raise on a team that is 30 points out of the playoffs? I don’t think so; " and said, "He might get it, but he won’t get it from me."

MacLean then signed Vyborny to a two-year deal the next day. Ah, the sweet language of contract negotiations.
Still, this was MacLean’s take on the goalie rotation between the veteran Denis and former first-round draft pick Pascal Leclaire: "I think it’s a shortterm thing, and that is something the coaches will have to look at. It has worked fine, and all because we had a young goaltender get some time and we were out of the race. . . . But I don’t know long-term whether it works. I certainly haven’t seen anywhere that it has. Some people say that it worked great in Minnesota, but the last time I saw, they missed the playoffs, too."

BLUE JACKETS

Signs point toward optimism next season

Sunday, April 23, 2006

Michael Arace
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

<!--PHOTOS--><TABLE class=phototableright align=right border=0><!-- begin large ad code --><TBODY><TR><TD><TABLE align=center><TBODY></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>


As a professional athlete and sports fan, Blue Jackets goaltender Marc Denis knows all the clichés. As an intelligent human being who loves language, he abhors the hackneyed. But the fruitless grind of another playoff-less campaign wore him down.
"What do you call it — a tale of two seasons?" Denis said. "I’m not going to be very original in saying that, but I guess it fits."
The first half of the Jackets’ season was riddled with injuries, trades, losses and general unrest. Columbus lost 287 mangames to injuries in 2005-06, and many of those games were lost by Rick Nash, Rostislav Klesla and Gilbert Brule in the first half. The team used 47 different players and not once had their top 20 dressed for a game.
By Christmas, the Blue Jackets were 9-25-1 and, for all intents, blown out of the playoff picture.
Enter Nash. From Game 36 to 82, the Blue Jackets went 26-18-3. They finished the season with a 9-3-1 flourish. Was it a good turn for the franchise, or a tease brought about by an absence of pressure?
In the end, there were good stats: Columbus had the second-best record in the league, behind the Dallas Stars, in overtime and shootouts (14-1-3) and the eighthbest record in one-goal games (24-12-2). The Blue Jackets also led the league with 23 points earned in third-period comebacks. This stuff takes skill.
There also were bad stats: The Blue Jackets finished 25 th in the league in victories, 26 th in goals against, 27 th in goals for, 29 th on power plays — and 21 points out of the playoffs. Was their first half that bad?
Perhaps the best arbiter of the relative merit of a team is its road record. The Blue Jackets set franchise records with 12 victories and 28 points away from Nationwide Arena. Not nearly good enough. Each of the 16 playoff teams managed at least 39 points on the road, and the Detroit Red Wings managed 65.
When Blue Jackets coach Gerard Gallant takes stock, he looks at the two seasons and sees seven road victories during the second half, in such places as Anaheim, Calgary, Edmonton and Detroit. He also sees the one-goal victories and the comebacks.
"After that start, I think our team salvaged a lot," Gallant said. "I think we proved ourselves as a team. We never quit. I think when we go into other buildings now, there’s more respect for Columbus. Before, we needed good goaltending and a lot of hope on the road. Now, we compete with anyone, anywhere. I think we did a lot in those last 50-60 games."
The indication is, the Blue Jackets aren’t as soft as they used to be. Gallant and his staff deserve some credit for this. So do Adam Foote and Sergei Fedorov, two veteran winners who can change the climate by setting an example.
"I’m happy here," Fedorov said. "I like the challenge. And I’m excited about next season. I feel they got me here to take a share of the load, play great ‘D’ and help the great players on offense. And to try to show everyone I am as good as I was. That’s my challenge, and I’m willing to take it up.
"All I know is I’m going to do everything I can to come back in the best shape I’ve ever been. Hopefully, we’ll all take a ride from day one and be on top of our game physically and mentally. I’m going to bring my best every game, every night, every practice, and we’ll see if that will help us succeed."
The goaltenders, Denis and Pascal Leclaire, were rotated during the second half of the season and the team went 23-15-3. But president and general manager Doug MacLean has been saying, "You don’t find teams with goaltender rotations in the playoffs." And MacLean has been praising the merits of Leclaire.
If management wants to gamble that Leclaire is ready to play 60 games, then Denis likely will be traded. And any trade probably would be preceded by a rancorous contract negotiation between the team and Denis, if only to set the stage. Both Denis, 28, and Leclaire, 23, are potential restricted free agents.
"I think I did everything I could this season," Denis said. "I hear my won-loss record has to be better, but all I know is I left everything out there. I want to be back. I think I will. But whatever happens, I did all I could, and now it’s in someone else’s hands."
The Blue Jackets will be involved in the free-agent market. The recurrent phrase being bandied about is, "Three new players." A scoring-line center and winger are probably on the wish list, one to fill out a line with Nash and David Vyborny, the other to play with Fedorov and Nikolai Zherdev. There could be a need for a checker, depending on what happens with unrestricted free agents Trevor Letowski and Manny Malhotra. A defenseman, too, could come aboard, and maybe a backup goaltender, depending on what happens with Denis.
"Things are looking good," Nash said. If we can carry the momentum into next season, we’ll be fine."

</td> <td class="alt1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> <!-- message --> Brule:
#6 in 2005, my ***. What a steal for you guys. This player is so sound at both ends of the ice for 19 its insane, and his physical game is freakish for his 180 pound stature too. Andre Fialla wouldn't disagree with me. Offensively, Brule is about as good as it gets at this level - that includes the entire CHL. His hands are lightning quick, which is why you usually see defenders at this level back off from him. His shot is as advertised, excellent even at the NHL level, insanely good for this level. He also has insane excelleration, so you will often see him driving around big slow defenceman to get scoring chances. He scored both of his breakaway goals by either just outskating a defenceman to the outside, or to the inside as he did to win it in overtime VS Portland. Right now Brule is 2 or 3 steps above Mueller if thats what some of you are wondering.

Mueller:
The first thing that impresses you about this kid is SIZE! Mueller is listed at 6'2, but looks more like 6'3 or 6'4. He's pretty damn huge, and can use his size to his advantage in the corners and what not. Skating-wise Mueller isn't slow but isn't a barn-burner, he will have to improve in this area if he wants to be a top line player in the pros. Puck-skill wise Mueller is about everything you would expect from a top prospect. His stick handling is very impressive for a big kid - and his shot is pretty damn hard, with a quick release on his nsap shot. I would not be skeptical at all drafting him at #6, a Brule/Mueller combo down the middle would be pretty damn sick.</td></tr></tbody></table>

you guys wanted some info on the top guys in the draft so here you go

johnson_erik_action_280x194.jpg
johnson_erik_194x265.jpg

(yes hes in diff #s same kid)
erik johnson
6-4 222lbs defenseman. left shot
currently plays for unstdp (us developmental team)
currently rated #1 for the march period by iss (international scouting services[which is the basis of all ratings for guys they rate north americans and europeans on two diff lists, though he is the #1 man])
he was listed around 7thish before january when he made the jump

strengths
-3 zone player (defense, neutral, offense)
-size has prototypical size and height already (for you guys think of a kid with footers size)
-strong passer


average
-stick handling
-skating (keep in mind hes a huge young kid this will improve once hes coached up on perfect skating technique)

weakness
-none ok thats an overstatement but hell be the #1 player taken a 17 year old with the combo of skill set he has doesnt come around every day

-his shot could use some work, mostly with accuracy has a tendency to just let it rip and not put the puck on net


johnson is committed to minnesota next year. he is expected to play there next year. he is a native of minnesota. outlook on this kid is to be skating in the nhl in 2 or so seasons (typical length from draft to nhl)

phil kessel
KESSEL.GIF

6-0 190lbs
iss #3 player
heres his official page at minnesota
http://www.gophersports.com/sports/player.asp?sport_id=mhock&player_id=2663
went to hs in ann arbor and played on the us developmental team.
this kid was supposed to be the #1 overall pick until erik johnson stormed in and took that right away. some, but few still have him going #1.

blazing fast speed, not just in open ice but with the puck. im talking world class speed as a 18 year old. claim to fame was an amazing hat trick in the wjc last year. very good passer, good stick skills. good hockey sense


downside has been attitude stigma (its there with most of the great kids they dont have to go 100% all the time and get frustrated with guys who will never play in the ahl. throw in his mom and her antics and its been rumored a circus as he grew up. this has seemed to stop)

of note: his dad was drafted by the washington redskins as a qb

jonathan toews (say it taves)
toews_77219.jpg

iss #2 player
6-1 195lbs forward
university of north dakota
from winnipeg
http://www.fightingsioux.com/sports/mhockey/bio.asp?PLAYER_ID=3303

Jonathan Toews: I am an offensive player. I like to score goals. I am a team player as well and will do what the coach asks of me. I was asked in this tournament to be a leader (and) I believe I have the leadership skills (proving) that I can step up and be a captain.

toews is an intelligent two way player, who will be a cornerstone of his team for the long term.

plays in the ohl for the peter[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]borough[/FONT] petes
big kid with good genes (one brother is already an nhl star with the hurricanes the other is the rangers top d man prospect) strong as an ox, very young, late birthday almost in the 07 crop.

you know you come from a hockey family when not only you but your 15 year old brother jared are on wikipedia (the little brother is supposedly the best of the 4). huge upside.

here is a mock draft and info from john buccigross
kiper_mel_i.jpg

We love Mel Kiper Jr., but does he know where Phil Kessel will wind up?


stl.gif
1. St. Louis Blues: The Blues are picking first overall for the first time in franchise history, and just their luck, there isn't a ready-made Calder Trophy winner waiting for them. They need just about everything and have plenty of cap space. Which begs the question: Will we see more trades of high draft picks for multiple players? A team which is capped out can rid itself of two or three players for an inexpensive draft pick. The good team gets cap relief and an 18-year-old they can develop over two to three seasons. The bad team gets two or three ready-made players and perhaps a first pick in the late first round as part of a draft-pick switch. Especially in draft pools like this year where there is no Kovalchuk, Ovechkin or Crosby.
The Blues need everything. I would approach the draft strategy like an expansion team. Stay young, accumulate some high picks over the next three drafts and then add in veterans as the unrestricted free agency age drops. Picking up Keith Tkachuk's option was smart, because they will be able to trade him for a first-round pick down the road.
Free agency: Only cheap veterans. Play the young guys and get back in the lottery again next year and hope you get Angelo Esposito in the 2007 draft.
Draft: I would select Jordan Staal with the No. 1 pick. A big center that just looks and sounds like a Blue. Give him two seasons to add 10-15 more pounds and then show him to Missouri.
pit.gif
2. Pittsburgh Penguins: Talentwise, the Penguins are in good shape. They have high-level, young assets in Crosby, Marc-Andre Fleury and Evgeni Malkin. They also have a couple of second-tier prospects that could grow together as "glue" guys. It is still not certain if Malkin will be freed from his Russian contract to play next season. Sergei Gonchar has offered to mentor him if Gonchar remains in Pittsburgh, so there are positive signs if Malkin wants to play in the NHL next season.
My gut is Malkin will be in Pittsburgh next season. Either way, the Penguins are probably still a lottery team, unless they try the veteran free-agency route again. We just don't know how deep the new owner's pockets will be. Would they offer Patrik Elias a five-year, $35-million dollar deal to play with Crosby? Will they sign two or three $3 million a year defensemen? We probably won't know about the arena until December. It will either be a glorious season or an absolutely depressing one in Pittsburgh next winter.
Free agency: Since the Penguins are for sale, they will keep costs down to keep the team attractive for a buyer. Also, who will be the new GM? Steve Tambellini? There are rumors Pat Brisson of IMG, Crosby's agent, might pull a Mike Barnett and become the Penguins' GM.
Draft: Erik Johnson or Phil Kessel? Johnson is probably three years away and is no certain perennial All-Star. He looks like he will be very good, but it is not clear-cut. Can Kessel play in the NHL next season? He has multiple red flags -- he lacks vision and his defensive hockey is well below par. Still, he has the speed and the shot. There have been whispers that he has "Lindros-like" family concerns behind the scenes. If he is there at No. 2, do you take him and put him on the wing with Malkin or Crosby?
Kessel would probably score 40-50 goals next season playing with Crosby, despite any personal rivalry they might have. Get Sid the puck, use your speed, learn how to get open and finish. Good times. He also could be a minus-412. I'd interview them both. Look them in the eye. Go to their homes. Look around the house. Peek in the medicine cabinet. Meet the Fockers. And then make my decision. I'd love the job of interviewing these prospects. I bet the Penguins take Johnson.
chi.gif
3. Chicago Blackhawks: The Blackhawks select third in the draft. Kessel still might be there with all of his red flags. What do the Hawks do? They have a decent corps of young players and overpriced veterans. They are kind of in no man's land. If the vets all stay healthy next season and the young players step it up, could we have a Carolina Hurricanes on our hands? Not quite. The Hawks need a young playmaker and Jonathan Toews is that guy. He turns 18 this month, so he is very young. He had 22 goals on 102 shots in 42 games as a 17-year-old freshman at North Dakota this past year. He is 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds. I know I grew two more inches after I turned 18. We'll see what happens to Toews -- 6-2, 195 pounds with good hands would make a nice Hawk in a couple of years.
Free agency: After the judgment shown last summer, I would stay away from expensive free agents. Keep developing the kids.
Draft: Take Toews. Have him go back to North Dakota, play in another World Junior tournament, and win a National Championship in the spring. Then, play him with Jack Skille for the 2007-08 Blackhawks season.
was.gif
4. Washington Capitals: With Ovechkin in the lineup, the Capitals gained six wins and 11 more points than the 2003-04 season. The fact that he was a plus player on such an awful defensive team is only more Rookie of the Year evidence for him. His line usually had the puck.
<!---------------------INLINE TABLE (BEGIN)-------------------->
<table id="inlinetable" align="right" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" width="230"> <tbody><tr><th colspan="1" style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><center>You Can Quote Me</center></th> </tr><tr style="background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" valign="top"> <td width="214"> "Hey, they're calling penalties as advertised. Everyone's still shocked, 'Why are they calling penalties in the playoffs?' They're supposed to because they want to work, and Gary Bettman was here so, hello! I mean it doesn't take a rocket scientist or even a sports writer to figure that one out."-- Sharks coach Ron Wilson on people who are incredulous to all the penalties being called in the playoffs.
</td> </tr> </tbody></table> <!---------------------INLINE TABLE (END)-------------------->The Capitals could go a few ways. They need defensemen and they could use a young center. If you want to improve quickly, you are always better off getting veteran defensemen via free agency and drafting skill. When you have such an immediate star like Ovechkin, it can make an organization impatient.
Free agency: They need a couple of rear guards. I said rear guards. Hal Gill on line No. 2.
Draft: I like Peter Mueller and think he fits in with the Capitals' developing style of play. He would be here at this point and would be a high-value pick. The Caps do like to think outside the box. Last year, they took 6-5 defenseman Sasha Pokulok with the 14th pick in the first round. I wouldn't be surprised if they took Nigel Williams here, a big defenseman on his way to Wisconsin in the fall. The Capitals draft off of need, more than Central Scouting ranking.
bos.gif
5. Boston Bruins: Who knows here? We don't know who the GM will be or what the long-term philosophy is. We don't know how much influence Harry Sinden has. Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs probably should have demoted Sinden to season-ticket holder emeritus. If Jacobs hired Ray Bourque to be president, then Bourque could have hired Dean Lombardi to be GM. And then Lombardi could have hired Mike Eaves from Wisconsin. Then the Bruins could have moved forward. But we know that won't happen, especially since Lombardi is in Los Angeles now.
Free agency: The Bruins usually make one free-agency splash just from a pure marketing sense. Got to get those season-ticket renewals! We'll know Sinden is still in charge if the Bruins trade Patrice Bergeron to create cap space so the Bruins can sign Brendan Witt.
Draft: Kessel will still be here. If Sinden is still calling the shots, the Bruins will draft their 289th defenseman in the past five years, Bobby Sanguinetti from the OHL. Chris Stewart also has Bruin written all over him. He's a big right winger who can score and get to the penalty box. Hmm.
cls.gif
6. Columbus Blue Jackets: The Blue Jackets were 6-3-1 in their last 10 games and are in the position where they can take the best player on the draft board, regardless of position. They won't have lots of free-agency options because they are close to the cap. The Jackets are what they are right now.
Free agency: Outside of the first line, the Jackets could upgrade anywhere with a midlevel free-agent signing. They can't spend too much. They have some aging veterans who will not be performing up to their salaries in the coming years. Their window is somewhat small unless some of their young guys really blossom, a possibility in the faster, younger NHL. They could use a second-line center. They need Gilbert Brule or Dan Fritsche to make a great leap forward next season.
Draft: I see Sweden's Nicklas Backstrom in the Blue Jackets future. Smart, two-way players are what the Jackets need.
nyi.gif
7. New York Islanders: The Islanders have great fans. Truly passionate and special. Naturally, their Stanley Cups in the '80s spawned a spirited fan base. But more than the championships, the Islanders were a unique team. They were a great movie with great actors. Now they are a mess. All those bad trades and short-sighted plans have them with little hope for the immediate future. That being said, there is an adequate enough core that, if the right coach were brought in to elevate everyone's play, the Islanders could be competitive. Hello, Andy Murray?
Free agency: They will probably make a run at Elias, who wouldn't? But they need to start creating a new Islander identity of young, drafted players.
Draft: You just know this is where Kessel will end up.

edit in his mailbag later on he discusses pat quinn and says he should see what happens with the coaching jobs inplaces like columbus, st louis and atlanta
