[Panthaz89]

This is like Draft day movie but with no happy ending.

Draft Day had a happy ending? I thought it just kind of ended after they were celebrating after making some picks and passing on a franchise QB.

 

[joe dirte]

So a 3rd and CGY 7th is available

2019
1st OUT Matt Duchene trade
2nd OUT William Karlsson expansion draft trade
3rd STILL AVAILABLE
4th OUT McQuaid's trade
5th OUT for 2018th 6th round (Tim Berni)
6th OUT Ryan MacInnis trade
7th OUT McQuaid's trade
7th IN (from CGY) with Duclair's trade

LOL.

nothing left!!!!

CBJ fans - what is the skinny on Bergman?

 

[IamNotADancer]

Julius Bergman at eliteprospects.com

Ya know, maybe somebody can give us an insight on Bergman, but just going by the numbers, I'm actually quite happy to get a 23 year old Swedish D-Man that seemed to have some sort of potential a couple of years ago.

CBJ fans - what is the skinny on Bergman?

Don't know. Got him from Ottawa in the Dzingel trade.

Edit - Duchene trade.

 

[Saekk]

What an awful hot take lmao

He's just insecure about bad GM's.

[absolute garbage]

No problems with a team hoping to win the Cup trading 4th and 7th for a depth defenseman... but McQuaid sucks. So yeah, questionable.

 

[Columbus Jack]

JULIUS BERGMAN WE HARDLY KNEW YA

 

[Wizards27]

No one has mentioned the impact on the ufa's going for it and trying to win makes. Perhaps these moves convince players to stay in Columbus.

 

[Oddbob]

Neither TSN or Sportsnet have Bergman as part of this.

 

[uncleben]

Neither TSN or Sportsnet have Bergman as part of this.

These guys are good at breaking trades, but they don't really bother to follow through.
It was missed from their inside information, and I doubt they'll go back to say anything.

Just like they won't follow through on what year the Hendricks, Beaulieu, Kiselevich, Del Zotto picks were, or the fact that they're still saying Florida traded Jurco to Carolina (Jurco was on AHL contract...)

 

[su24]

The Jackets drafted him many years ago, but he refused to sign with them. Now they gonna make him rot in the pressbox. Don't mess with Columbus, they gonna make you to pay back sooner or later...

 

[GoChill]

I love these threads. Bob is having an awful season, no one wants him and he sucks in the playoffs.

Next thread - You should trade him, you're stupid if you lose him for nothing.

Next thread - why should we trade anything for him when we can sign him in the summer for free (which should be interesting because about 4 teams are all planning to sign him for free)

Next thread - your team will never survive without him.

In summary he sucks but you will never survive without him. You are stupid if you don't trade him but no one will give you anything for him because they can sign him for free.

What to do? What to do?

 

[GoChill]

Odds are CBJ and Minnesota both end the year cupless, but the Wild won't see 3 hugely valuable pieces walk for nothing and then go to the draft with two picks.
.

True but Minnesota won't be going into July 1 with $30M in cap space. Columbus will have a lot of cap space if all their UFA's walk. Columbus was saving roughly $20M just to resign Bob & Panarin somebody is going to want that money.

 

[Sharksfan83]

Bergman was a good prospect for the Sharks. He just got overtaken by a few guys on the depth chart. Surprised no one wants to keep him. He still could become a bottom pairing guy

 

[glasgow26]

Us Sharks fans were actually pretty excited about Bergman a few years back. I'm going to assume he hasn't developed very well though considering he's 23, in the minors, and has already been traded three times in the last calendar year.

I think part of the movement now is that he is an extra contract towards the max on a player that has publicly said he is going home. I really hope the NYR let him come up and have a cup of coffee with the big club, since one of his reasons he sited for going home is lack of chance at the NHL. Worst it could do is lose us a few games, and really, that is a plus at this point not a minus.

 

[The Jones Zone]

Lol what happens when Columbus goes out in the first round? And all their UFAs walk?

well, since losing in the first round is the Best the organization has ever done, it will be business usual

Honestly, Columbus still has a lot of really good players locked up, they have the best prospect pool
in their history, and will have a boat load of money to spend over the summer if the high dollar UFA's leave

There comes a time when you have to say WTF, 20 years of losing, how much worse can they do?

bernmeister seal of approval

 

[Bounces R Way]

Alright chums Im back LETS DO THIS

JARRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMOOOO JEEEEENKKKINS

 

[Xoggz22]

They are gonna lose in the first round

Sorry, don't think the Rangers make it to the first round this year...

 

[Xoggz22]

So Panarin isn’t part of their core? Or how about Bobrovsky? How can you say they have locked up there core for the future? Their two best players aren’t signed?

And if you think they have enough top end talent to win a cup with what is on their roster, is foolish. They haven’t even got close with Panarin and Bob. It’s foolish think to think that would change without their two best players.

As an aside, Columbus is now the only team that can sign Panarin and Bob to 8 year deals. Have you heard of the possibility of a sign an trade before July 1st? Columbus didn't give up any of their top prospects and the risk of moving their draft picks given they are the youngest team in the NHL is low risk. Yes, it hurts when Panarin and Bob leave but the cupboard isn't bare and they have time to recoup assets after they make a run.

 

[Xoggz22]

here’s the thing. if your all star goaltender and offensive leader are leaving, and they know they’ll miss the playoffs next year.

they just will.


so you rebuild and put together a pretty good team and then your players just leave without you ever getting a real shot at a cup run.... what do you do? i like that he knows this will be their only shot, so he’s gonna make sure it’s going to be their best shot. you already have next written off, just go for it.

Just to comment... Columbus had 108 pts before Panarin arrived. The addition of Dzingel and Duchene (I expect them to sign both) will keep them at a high level. This is still a playoff team next year.
