2021 Offseason | Around the League (All non-Stars NHL Talk here)

Kind of makes me wonder where Columbus usually ranks for NTC's . In general Ohio Pro-Sports teams seem incredibly unattractive for players no matter what sport. Even when the Cavs had Lebron they struggled to find anyone half decent willing to play with him there.

To be perfectly honest as someome not from the US i had no idea a city named Columbus even existed before the Jackets existed .

There's a ton of towns named Columbus. that one is just the biggest.
Ohio is just a boring nothing state.
If they didn't have cedar point...

I'm a Canadian and most of what I know about Ohio I learned from an ex who lives there. She never had much good to say about it but at the same time I've always heard good things about Columbus from articles on the web. And I do love the atmosphere at the games.

PLD to Winnipeg possibly

 

[Smelling Salt]

Obviously this won't happen because of injury, NTC and well a bunch of other reasons but I would send a lottery protected 1st, Seguin and another piece to Columbus for PLD. Not because I think PLD is a world beater but it gets the Stars younger, less broken down and saves us from that Seguin contract.

 

[serp]

Seguin isn't waiving his NMC for Columbus and the Jackets aren't trading for a guy injured until March/April not to mention we're in the same division for now.

 

[Smelling Salt]

Well yeah but under a more ideal scenario I'd do it in a heartbeat and I would encourage Columbus to do the same

So uh...if the Jackets are interested in having a hard-working two-way veteran forward who can be solid defensively and a great presence in the locker room...I could be convinced to part ways with Cogs to get PLD.

 

[cizko]

Why would you want a player with such an unproffesional conduct?

 

[serp]

So is Laine going to end up in our division again ? If he gets traded to the Jackets for PLD him and Torts colliding will certainly be interesting

Sweet now we get Laine to shit on us this year as well.

 

[Zapp]

I live in Ohio and my 2nd team is the Jackets so I’m pretty f***ing stoked right now. Picking up a powder blue Laine 3rd jersey ASAP.

Don’t sleep on Texier btw. He’s a great playmaker with a nose for the net too. He and Laine are going to do damage

 

[Kcb12345]

Damn yeah didn't think about that lmao

Watching all CBJ games to see how Tex is growing - Pretty sure he can click with Laine in future but for now he has to improve parts of his game to be 1C in this team

 

[MoeTheHobo]

Sooo, Laine is back in the same division as the Stars..

 

[Smelling Salt]

Janmark's got 3 points in his first 6 games with Chicago, including 2 goals. 1 was an empty netter last game today's was a tap in off a sweet Kane pass

He had a nice assist tho today as well

 

[JeffP]

3 stars of the week needed a 1a/1b for this week!

1 pt difference and 4 fewer games played!
(Toffoli has clearly still been a beast for Montreal tho)

Pavelski should of been 1st IMO but whatever. Toffoli is on fire as well.

Insider Trading: Why are teams asking about Barkov?

At around the 2:30 mark of the video, Darren Dreger mentions that the IIHF U-18 tournament is going to be played in Dallas. It was supposed to be in Ann Arbor/Plymouth. Part of thinks he misspoke, but it's what he said. Normally the U18s would start in mid-April, but maybe that'd be pushed back since the Draft is moved back a month already.

I couldn't help but wonder if I could squeeze in a Team USA game and a Rangers home game.

Small update:
