Foligno and Bob to Calgary for a 5th round pick

 

[MAHJ71]

Getting a bad feeling in my gut...

Please just stay the course and take Puljujarvi.. not one of the rumored deals has been good enough in my mind to move down.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

I hope Jarmo moves down and does his best principal from Back to the Future impression and calls us all slackers

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Please take Jesse

 

[Jaxs]

Puljujarvi please.

 

[JacketsFanWest]

Puljujärvi hardly speaks English and didn't exactly master the SM-liiga season in a way you could say he is a surefire impact player waiting to be unleashed at the NHL level.

Pulju spoke elementary English in the spring (During the WJC, link to an interview where he starts speaking English than struggles a little being able to respond so uses a translator. This was before he started taking more English lessons. In April, he gave his first English interview to practice. Still struggling but he's showing improvement). So with further English lessons it's not an issue. 2-months of language learning is enough to make someone with limited skills conversational in English. After training camp, he'll be fine.

Not sure if speaking English really matters. There's been quite a few Russian players who haven't spoken English. The Swedes just have everyone spoiled since they are such well spoken in English.

But there's no way that Logan Brown plays in the NHL next season and a very good chance than Pulju does. That automatically puts Brown behind in the points column.

Brown's foot speed looked better at the U18 tournament and his first steps looked less awkward, so he's making improvements in his skating, but he's no where near where he needs to be in terms of skating to play in the NHL. The same cannot be said about Pulju.

Please take Jesse

Yee, I hope we take PoolParty ( because I'm tired and want to sleep)

 

[The Jones Zone]

how many rounds do they draft tonight?

 

[CBJfan4evr]

​

I'd be devastated if they trade Korpi. Jarmo loves to tinker; just pick Pujalveri and be done with it.

 

[Jackets16]

No message

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

how many rounds do they draft tonight?

Just the first round I think

 

[Jackets16]

 

[WannabeFinn]

how many rounds do they draft tonight?

[Fred Glover]

Foligno and Bob to Calgary for a 5th round pick

You forgot signing that pick to a five year contract at $5 million per

 

[WannabeFinn]

You forgot signing that pick to a five year contract at $5 million per

That pick? Sean Day.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Dreger-"We know Jarmo wants to move down"

Bobby Mac-"Milano is on the verge of being traded"

 

[Fred Glover]

CBJ looking to reaquire Scott Howson

 

[KJ Dangler]

Milano possibly traded

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Milano traded?

 

[DJA]

Milano almost gone

 

[The Jones Zone]

I can live with Milano being moved.................Borkstrand and Anderson NO!

 

[Columbus Mike]

So much talk on the NBC broadcast about the CBJ trading down. I really hope we don't dump the #3 just to free up some salary, but I think something like that is about to happen.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Bobby Mac saying Milano is on the trade block, wtf

 

[Jackets16]

I wouldn't be surprised if Milano was traded. I expected Rychel to be traded before him, but we don't have room for all of our young forwards and you want to get value for them when you can.
