Interesting Info: Part XVI (All Jackets-related "tidbits" in here)

Also, tomorrow is free food night for season ticket holders.

I got the puffiest parka I could find and I am wearing my cargo pants. I am not going to have to grocery shop for a week. I figure I can line my hood with plastic and put the Skyline in there

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Indeed he's picked up his game since I gave him a hard time for not posting to his potential. I'm like the Torts of HF CBJ.

Well done.

Now work your magic on me.

Just skip the middle man and put the Skyline in your pants

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Push-ups for you.

 

[Viqsi]

Push-ups for you.

Is this going to be a thing? I steadfastly refuse to do pushups.

 

[Mayor Bee]

Oh yeah?

Tell you what. Instead of using a gym floor or just a regular floor, imagine a mud pit...a really muddy pit. And face-down on top of the mud are a bunch of people who spent years repeatedly suggesting that Hemsky-for-Johansen was a good idea for Columbus. And your pushups are on their backs, meaning that every single pushup you do shoves one of those people face-down further into mud.

Do you still refuse to do pushups?

I'd ask to substitute jumping jacks.

Those people must have been on my ignore list. All two of them. I guess years was both of them.

Early projections are for the salary cap to increase to $74.5 million for 2016-2017. Well, at the high-end.

Although you may want to use a bratwurst instead of one of those little coneys.

Not to stray from the stimulating discussion of push-ups but this is interesting. It's a 5 % increase which will give the Jackets between 4.5- 5 mill of cap room to sign 2 D men and have a little cushion.

If i recall correctly at this time last year not many saw the cap ending where it did.

Torts was on Sirius NHL radio yesterday....I missed the beginning, but here is what I heard:

-RyJo wants to be better, knows he has to be better and is working towards getting there

-Loves Bob. Said that when Richards was fired, Bob was honest and said he felt responsible. That Bob has worked harder than any other player, that he is in awe of how hard he works.

-Says the staff in Lake Erie is doing a great job. Every player that they've had to call up has played well and been prepared. That once the team is healthy, they will have more options because some of the guys in the AHL will have proven that they can play in the NHL.

Thanks for the encouraging report!

You're thinking of the invaders. There was much, much more on the trade mains.

Given the state of the loonie, color me even more skeptical than that.

With respect to revamping the D, I'm not paying much attention to the cap number. We're just as likely to find a top D through other team's cap distress as we are through our own cap space. So it's a wash.

And the UFA market isn't going to be pretty. Having a spare $5m doesn't get you much. But hopefully it will grease the wheels for trades.

I agree that we probably aren't going to sign 2 ufa's to upgrade the D but every dollar will help facilitate a trade.

And forget about upgrading. We have to sign 2 D for next year, 3 if you include Murray. After signing 2, if even for a mil a piece, that doesn't leave much especially if the cap doesn't rise the speculated 5%.

How badly the Jackets got screwed by this really depends on how much of Torts salary Vancouver is paying. This is something that would be good to know and I'd like to see a reporter dig it up.

I believe Vancouver owed him $2 million a year for the next 3 years. Perhaps the Canucks picked up a majority of that contract with the incentive to them being the second round pick they get.

I'm not saying that losing a pick was great for the Jackets, but the addition of the pick may have allowed the deal to get done with some financial benefit to CBJ owners. If the second pick factored into the negotiations, I can see why the NHL isn't going to make this rule retroactive.

On the flip side, this is probably good news for Todd Richards in finding a job with new team over the next year and half.

Oh who cares about them. They aren't relevant to anything. What do we care about hockey fans across the world thinking we should have made an awful trade. Notice no ??

I thought we were discussing CBJ fans posting here.

We'll see. Honestly, I'm thinking more assistant job.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Figures we get ****ed by the rule.

 

[cbjfan4life]

rule 35....if there is somehow a way the cbj can be f#%ked by a rule or ruling in the NHL; is it just a question of when, not will

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Weird. He got off the ice on his own. Knee related?
