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.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.
Truth is even with this defensive core, Korpisalo has been below average. Elvis is unproven. We’re not competing with this goalie duo.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
Russian collusion for the win!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”.

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.

Can you read Russian or google translated ?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"

Wondering how long until we get the tell all about what drama really went on with Bob and Bread all season
like it's their choice. Why are you guys trying to rewrite history is beyond me.I’m gonna miss Bob. But it’s the right decision not to re-sign him.

You are rewriting history, or lying. Your choice.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.

I honestly think he’s only referring to Bread.Pretty damming . Think we know the 2 players he’s referring to .
