What’s going on in Columbus?

Kent Johnson drafted 5th overall - 3 goals - 8 assists - 11 points in 38 games on pace for 23 points on the season. What’s going on?

Cole Sillinger drafted 12th overall - 4 goals - 15 assists - 19 points in 38 games.

Could be getting one of them at bargain basement prices as they are certainly sucking big time right now. The only concern is they continue to suck the rest of their careers.

KJ for EP would work for me. The pipecleaner has shat in his West coast nest enough now.

The reality is his value is so low that anything coming back at all...including a straight cap dump, would be welcome at this stage

Hellebuyck went down and Comrie is not capable of carrying it.

I thought they were off to an overrated start myself.

Nobody wants to play for Arneil. Guy is an asshole. Helly has been hurt and has struggled. I thought Perfetti would have chipped in more. Ehlers leaving robbed them of a line driver.

I'd gas Chevy and bring in Shanahan. Then again I'd like Shanny for Vancouver. See Dude.......objectivity isn't a swear word.

He's unreal.

I'm sure glad TC has the giant pylon Colton Parenko in Milan instead of this kid :scowl:

Jamie Benn just smashed his face into the ice and went off looking pretty fucked up. Probably a broken jaw or cheekbone.

That should open up some cap space to pick up EP40 for their run

Only if their plan is to not have Benn come back for the post-season.

Only $1 million cap hit, so there would be some cap juggling and Vancouver would likely have to take a contract like Dumba's to make it even-out.

They'd still have to make Petey's cap work for the remainder of his contract, but that can be an offseason problem and there is an ongoing arms race in the Central Division.

Trading Petey would be the definitive tanking move. I wouldn't be opposed.
Love the Sport. Love the Team.

Hate the League.
