new third jersey to be unveiled in november, any concept designs or ideas of what it will look like?
personally i think it COULD look half way decent if they threw in a little powder/lighter blue in there.....

any chance this thing is unveiled in november, and debuted in the 2011 winter classic??????

CBJ also got defenseman Nathan Paetsch from Buffalo. Don't know much about him, other than that he was placed on waivers and cleared earlier this season. He's 26 and a former 2nd round pick. Put up pretty good numbers offensively in his rookie season, but hasn't come close since.

Wish the Pens would've offered a 6th for Jurcina. They could use a big d-man to replace Hal Gill on the PK.

According to 97.1, the Kings and Jackets were close to a deal that would've sent Modin to LA. Not sure what the return would've been. Can't imagine that the Kings would want to take on that salary. Maybe that was the problem.

Mathieu Roy was traded to Florida. Not sure for what yet. The Modin deal did go through, and it was for "futures".

Love Modin, but getting rid of that salary makes me happy. Opens up room for someone else. SIGN VOLCHENKOV IN THE OFFSEASON HOWSON!!!

EDIT: Roy traded for prospect Matt Rust. Apparently he's a small, two-way center who is decent at faceoffs and probably not a top 6 player.

Modin for a conditional 7th.

It's a damn shame the Jackets aren't the one's looking to add a key piece for their playoff run. A damn shame. (so I'm not misunderstood, I realize the jackets are not in a position to be making said moves this season... I'm just suggesting that they were once pretty close, and now they're not quite as close (with respect to the beginning of next season)) Now, if I'm reading this right, it's looking like "rebuilding" is the plan.

Maybe someone more in tune has a different opinion.

The only player who will really be missed all that much is Torres, and he might re-sign here in the offseason. He's expressed interest in doing so, and he has family here. We got maximum value for an unrestricted free agent who might come back. Good deal for a team that likely won't make the playoffs.

Roy isn't really a big loss, he was between AHL and NHL duty all season. Solid for a bottom pairing/7th defenseman, but nothing major. Pretty replaceable.

Jurcina was surprisingly solid, but also pretty replaceable IMO.

Modin was a salary dump. He's been effective, but he's worth more to us not on the team because he made too much for how little he played. I'm thinking he made like $4M a year, which is outrageous considering he's played about 7 games in what seems like 17 years for the Jackets. :lol:

Nothing too surprising really.

Alex Picard got traded to Phoenix for Chad Kolarik.

A previous first round pick for a previous seventh round pick. That is fucking awful. Not so much current value-wise, but the fact that we drafted a first rounder who currently has the value of a seventh rounder is baaaaaad.

God help me, but I agree with Numby. :shake:

A bunch of moves, but nothing of serious worth leaving. The young, talented nucleus is intact. If they could have off-loaded Commodore, deadline day would have been a bigtime win for the CBJ.

I hope that was done in your best Scott Torgerson voice. Picard, now is one step away from workin the night shift at the Citco. I find it odd we sent Jurcina back to Washington for a 6th round pick. Modin just being off the books will save the club a little over 1 million this season. Getting a second round pick and a player for Torres is about the max you could expect. All in all, solid moves.
