Confirmed with Link: CBJ sign college UFA center Josh Dunne

[spintheblackcircle]

6'4'' 220 was ECAC defensive player of the year last year while scoring 27 pts in 32 games but was hurt most of this year.

Both of his sisters played hockey for tOSU, one of them was named best female athlete her senior year.

They are from Missouri but with all the Columbus connections, wonder if the family know Roslivic's?

Do either of his sisters also play center?

What you are saying is the CBJ center problems are solved

PLD who?

I’m guessing he’ll be competing for our 4th line C role next year. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Johnny Danger]

great signing! could be a nice checking line center!

Are you saying Jarmo is taking a bottom up approach to our center problems?

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

This sounds the exact opposite of the players we should be getting on this roster if we want to play fast hockey:

Pronman’s scouting report: “After being a highly pursued free agent last season, Dunne has struggled to produce offense this season. I do see some skill and playmaking in his game, to go with a high compete level and great net-front game, but he’s not overly skilled and lacks speed.”

In other words, he tries hard but he just isn't that good.

Soo Torts favorite type of player.

Given the C depth in CBJ, "competing" is a strong word.

Ok, now Jarmo is dunne making moves .........

 

[Bookker]

His NCAA stats are bad
That scouting report is completely what you can imagine from him considering those numbers and his size. (not overly skilled and lacks speed, but good in front of the net)
If the guy has an amazing brain / charisma / mental toughness / or some others high-level "soft skills" why not, but otherwise...

Soo Torts favorite type of player.

Good to see a cameo appearance by Maylo

 

[Columbus Mike]

I didn't realize Dunne was a Finnish name.

The club has roster issues for sure but that doesn’t mean the GM stops working for the entire organization and for the future. Geez people.

At least we’ve managed to avoid the trite ‘plan the parade’ BS.
