Good, he was horrible this year so far. Season up, young fellow.

finally a move I can agree with, now if they will just give Holden some ice-time. What is it with this coaching staff, you bring up your top d-man from the minors and then play the 2nd call up (who has been a scratch some games in Springfield) more minutes?? Makes as much sense as playing RJ more and more yet he accomplishes nothing. No wonder this organization is always near the bottom and players don't want to be here.
For the love of Gordie Howe, he had 2 games. I don't have a problem with his re-assignment to Springfield. Nor do I have a problem if he is eventually traded. But this morbid dumping on him for not playing very well in two games is ridiculous.
Savard is the only one who was chewing pop-corn in the press-box in January while everyone was playing in the NHL or AHL. He might got rusty and inconsistent sitting next to the Blue Jackets announcers and reporters. Emanation of energy, you know.
And Savard still was twice better than AJ on most of the nights last year.
Brilliant use of a prospect for the 7th d-man. This was long overdue.
I see we've already propagated the prevailing thoughts based on amazingly poor use. If he was that bad he should have been sent down a long time ago.
...AJ would not have made the team if it wasn't for his Nash connection.
Damn, that Nash guy is really powerful - he plays for NY, but can make Boston play his pal, AJ!
he's played 4 games and is -2 (worst of any d-man on the team) ...this on a first place team in their division. Yup, that sounds like AJ alright!
Good, he was horrible this year so far. Season up, young fellow.
During his time with the Jackets last year, I think Savard played fairly well.
Concur. Honestly, I'm beginning to worry he may end up like Cody Franson - potentially useful on special teams, not out of place on a bottom pairing, looks like he could be so much more but too slow to actually get there.I think the kid has some talent, but his foot speed is very poor. First time I saw him skate I thought maybe he was injured. Nope, he's just slow.
He has to be positionally excellent to make up for it.
