Speculation: Bob and Bread combo thread

[Kap-the-Head]

Bob was here before Bread's arrival so Im not really sure its the case.

Time will tell I guess. We have to see how this PO adventure unravels first as well.

This may clear things up a bit

Does anyone believe the Jackets would have swept without Bob in net? I having a hard time coming to that conclusion. I keep asking myself if Korpi or Elvis was the goalie what would have happened. I never come up with a positive outcome. If I believe the team is going to continue to play next season like they just did against Tampa I think I want Bob in net if at all possible. I'm guessing the bridge is burned badly enough that it won't happen but I hope that Jarmo gives it one last shot.

Do the Jackets have a player named Doug?

 

[Jovavic]

Still think Bob will go back to Russia if his contract wants are met. He's been relatively injury free the last few seasons and he's working to shake off the playoff demons...but I just don't see a team offering a 30 year old goalie a 7 year contract.

If it’s worth anything, Russia’s main sports website sports.ru published an editorial “Bob and Bread, stay in Columbus, it’s definitely going to be worse in Florida”.

It all depends whether they still want to win in the NHL, if they are content with lower taxes, sun, mild fan base and media and most likely no cup contention, they will just sign with the Panthers.

There’s a few Russians in Florida and Q who I believe is liked by Panarin. unfortunately, I think chances are 80-20 they leave.

Bob isn’t resigning here , not after this year . Honestly back to expansion when they protected Korpi , it became pretty clear the path management was forging . Now we have Elvis here in Columbus , whom Jarmo says is the best goalie not playing in the Nhl, we have Tarasov , and Vehvilhen knocking on the door . Combine that with the fact that our core players are early 20s in Jones , Werenski , Pld, Bjork, Cam and now Texier and Bemström , whom Portzline expects to be with the Jackets next year , it was never in the cards to invest 7, 8 , or 10 million for a goalie . And honestly , this season has shown their is no reason to resign Bob . We have one of the top , maybe the top defensive group in the league, and it’s getting mich deeper with Garikov joining . We have a forward group that is only going to get much better. And we have ton of goalie depth that is here , as of next year

Truth is even with this defensive core, Korpisalo has been below average. Elvis is unproven. We’re not competing with this goalie duo.

If we let Bob go, we need to get an UFA like Varly to have one proven NHL starter on the team

Russian collusion for the win!

Oh, he'll get plenty of long term offers. Tim Thomas, Brodeur, and Hasek were winning Vezinas in their late 30s.

I love the Russian idioms, and it's good writing. That writer really knows the league pretty well too.

"the wise mustache Joel Kennevill"
"Ekblad, who, it seems, was already born with a red beard"
"Yeandl is a clean midfielder who is not very useful in defense"

Lol thats some of the funniest shit I have read in russian for quite some time. I doubt google translate is capable of helping our American friends here. Its native speakers shit only lol. The author makes a great case for them to stay though.

Google. It's hilarious sometimes. But you can also tell good metaphors when you see them, and Russian is full of great metaphors and phrases.

That's Google Translate. Makes me wish I could read Russian.

I’m gonna miss Bob. But it’s the right decision not to re-sign him.

 

[GoJackets1]

Sigh... As much as I know we shouldn’t resign Bob, I’m very very sad to see him go.

 

[DJA]

Wondering how long until we get the tell all about what drama really went on with Bob and Bread all season

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I’m sure panarin will tell all to the Russian media this summer

like it's their choice. Why are you guys trying to rewrite history is beyond me.

 

[KJ Dangler]

Pretty damming . Think we know the 2 players he’s referring to .

 

[Long Live Lyle]

It is the CBJ’s choice. I’m not “re-writing” anything. If we offered Bob what he wanted, he’d stay. That’s different than Panarin.

 

[Jyrki]

tl;dr from Jarmo: Bob and Bread gone because they want to play in NYC

 

[Maylo]

You are rewriting history, or lying. Your choice.

 

[Long Live Lyle]

You are rewriting history, or lying. Your choice.

Well the actual truth is, neither of us know. But it’s been pretty clear that we would have (and did) offer Panarin the moon but not Bob.

 

[GoJackets1]

I honestly think he’s only referring to Bread.

Bob would stay if we wanted him and paid him.
