Columbus Blue Jackets (Official Thread)

[Dee-Liem]

Such a steep price to protect Josh Anderson and the CBJ defensemen in tonight's expansion draft.

But I guess I agree with it, at the least to keep Anderson.

Hopefully, free agency goes well for Columbus.

Please don't take William Karlsson. I have a feeling that's who they will end up taking, but I hope I'm wrong.

Another sign of a deal completed: The Columbus Dispatch believes Blue Jackets checking center William Karlsson is heading to Vegas. Earlier reports suggested Columbus would spend a first-round pick to make that happen.

Not a huge loss, by any means. Kid has tons of potential though.

Hopefully it's this years 1st round pick.......since it's #24. They are liable to bomb and be in the top 10 again next year.

Looks like it is this years 1st rounder. And Vegas takes David Clarksons awful contract off the CBJs hands

Columbus Blue Jackets: The Blue Jackets have reportedly kept Josh Anderson, Jack Johnson, and backup goaltender Joonas Korpisalo away from Vegas. In exchange, the Golden Knights will get the Blue Jackets’ first-round pick in 2017, a prospect — likely forward William Karlsson — and will take on David Clarkson’s LTIR contract.

Two time... Two time... TWO TIME... Vezina Award winning goalie, Sergei Bobrovski!





Torts took home some hardware tonight, too:

Karlsson taken in the fourth group.

Would've rather lost Calvert than Karlsson, but it'll do (I guess).

Here's to free agency.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

The Penguins were going to release MAF anyways......all it took to make Vegas take him was a 2nd rounder from 20fucking20? Pittsburgh's list of unprotected players was a mini all star team and they took the guy they were going to let walk anyways?

 

[Dee-Liem]

I wonder who the prospect the Jackets are sending to Las Vegas is going to be.

It was reported it won't be Milano, and both Dubois and Bjorkstrand are not going to get sent there.

I'm indifferent on Milano. I don't like these new expansion rules. I don't recall Columbus or Minnesota having everyone by the balls like this (obviously the rules are different).

 

[Dee-Liem]

If someone would've told me that Torts was going to win Coach of the Year in Columbus before Urban Meyer, I would've laughed my ass off

(I'm kidding. I realize Ohio State's football coach is not eligible for Big Ten Coach of the Year).

Good for John Tortorella. He was odds on favorite to be the first coach canned this past season.

Get a look at adidas’ new NHL jerseys for all 31 teams

The NHL's new partnership with adidas hit Las Vegas on Tuesday night to unveil the new uniforms that all 31 teams will be wearing beginning next season -- including Vegas' own expansion team, the Golden Knights.

All 31 squads put their home uniforms on display to celebrate the new partnership. Not every team made significant changes to their design -- in fact, a large number of teams stuck with a similar look -- but a few took the opportunity to refresh their look while shifting to adidas' advanced uniform technology.

Vegas' home uni's might be some of the best in the NHL.

FWIW, I've always liked the Wild's logo/jerseys (i.e. nature scene that looks like a wild animal's head):

Agreed. Very clean design.

I'm just wondering how long before advertisement on the sweaters. It'll probably happen sometime in the future.

A small patch that says Huntington Bank or something.
