[Mayor Bee]

The ones I'd be targeting to get in would be Johansen, Bobrovsky, Hartnell, and Foligno. Maybe one or two additional ones.

Once the ballot comes out, I'll post the plans to stuff the ballot box.

 

[Samkow]

Johansen and Bob are near locks.

Foligno, Hartnell, and Wiz are possibilities as well.

 

[EDM]

I am not at all sure why Johanson is a lock. Not sure he has a lot of support outside of Columbus. His stats are not over whelming. There are a lot of good centers in the east.

 

[DJA]

He's currently #5 in the East in scoring behind Crosby, Voracek, Giroux, and Kessel.

 

[Jovavic]

He's currently #5 in the East in scoring behind Crosby, Voracek, Giroux, and Kessel.

Stop bringing your stats into a debate!

Ryjo and Bob for us, most likely. Nash and Vorecek probably will also and I hope Jake gets a good reception. **** Nash

And top 10 in the league.

And Foligno is in the top 20.

when will they paint the logo on enter ice as well?

Didn't Jake take a shot at the Columbus fans once he got traded to Philly? I remember him tweeting(and quickly deleting?) something about in Philly, lots of fan support but in Columbus, there was hardly any and it was always disappointing. At the time he was with Columbus, what he said was true but I think some fans were offended. Or is this something so small(and likely forgotten) that he would get applauded if he played in the game?
Tried googling it but couldn't find the exact comment.

That's my list as well, more or less. Foligno and one of Hartnell or Dubinsky would be the guys I'd promote to other fanbases. Hartnell would be in exchange for supporting Jake, and Dubi in exchange for supporting Nash. Foligno I imagine wouldn't need to be sold to Ottawa.

Don't worry, I've already got a spreadsheet going of how I'd like the coalitions to look.

Bob is our only "lock" to make the ASG. Not based off of stats, but based off of the love he gets from the fans. Joey, Foligno, Hartnell and Wiz are certainly possibilities, too. But I wouldn't expect more than 2 or 3 players from our team to make the cut (Probably Bob and Joey). Johansen would be fun to watch in the skills competition.

I believe only 6 are voted in (assuming they use the fantasy draft format).

Johansen will make it on his own merits. And if not, the hometown factor will probably help too.

 

[Derby]

my guess is bob too maybe joey but i hope boone can too what is the cut off for the young guns show rookies

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Bob and Joey. Maybe Foligno

 

[TheOllieC]

Bob and Johansen are locks to me. Another forward too like Foligno or Hartnell if they keep producing.

Halfway through the player introductions...






"From the Columbus Blue Jackets, Forward, NUMBER 8, NATHAN HORTON!

*HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT*

Building explodes.

That would be something.

And then he skates around doing the Ned Braden striptease and walks off into retirement

It's like you didn't even take the 2 seconds to look up said stats.

I don't get the love for Wiz. If it's based on this year, he has 2-6-8 in 14 games so far, 41st in points among defensemen. He's very much a long shot. I would consider Foligno and Hartnell to have better chances.

Bob/Joey
Foligno/Hartnell


Wiz

Wiz

They do look a lot at the previous year's stats, and he was 8th in the league in points by defensemen.

 

[Tulipunaruusu*]

Scott Hartnell likely has better things to do.

 

[Jackets Fan]

I am not at all sure why Johanson is a lock. Not sure he has a lot of support outside of Columbus. His stats are not over whelming. There are a lot of good centers in the east.

20 points in 17 games isn't good enough for you? What were you expecting from Joey at this point, 30 points? 50 points? 100 points? 1,000,000? Hard to do much better than what he's done...
Generally if you're a PPG player, you're in the all-star game.

I agree with Johansen and Bobrovsky, Foligno and Hartnell are maybe's.
