That was a great Q&A. Thanks for posting.
Interesting nuggets on Duchene and it sounds like they were hesitant to give up yet another first plus the big contract for him which was good to hear.

Agreed Jarmo is his normal, candid self in there. Good read.
Am I the only one who’s not surprised but still disgusted at the subtle NY tint to a lot of the conversation?

Analysis: Glass half full — how the Blue Jackets can be...
The Us against the World theme is already in place. Big Time. We'll see if it works.

Yeah, I think they did their due diligence in terms of seeing if signing Duchene made sense but I don't think they were heart-broken with his decision. He ended up being a hired gun that helped the Jackets get over the first round hump. That's fine.
End of the 1st question about Duchene makes it seem like Panarin was the only 1 they really wanted to keep.
"It is what it is. Panarin was the guy we did everything to keep."
2019/20 CBJ: It Is What It Is
100% should be the team motto this year. Both Jones and Jarmo have said it in interviews regarding the "departures".
Def showed we wanted Panarin and the last minute offer likely wasn't just a way to save face with the fans.
I'm guessing Duchene let the team down easy and the CBJ bowed out without a fight. Again it would be a huge price tag, but I think the CBJ wanted him, it's just the fact they knew Duchene was gone the second Nashville cleared cap room.

The Jackets threw everything and the kitchen sink at Panarin. He just didn't want it. Bright lights were calling.
Jackets tried to sway Bobrovsky to re-consider staying by making him various contract offers throughout the season, but as things piled up (Panarin for sure leaving, team struggling, and then of course the Tampa incident) the CBJ felt it would be best to move on as well. Eventually a mutual parting, with some hurt feelings.
I think they had a professional talk with Duchene, but both sides knew he was going to Nashville unless Columbus threw a 10+ million offer at him. Jackets didn't want to do that AND lose a draft pick. Mutual parting for both sides.

Because they can't change what happened, so there's no point in dwelling on it when they have their own shit to worry about what is happening now or in the future. You learn from it and move on.

What's that PLD over Jesse pick looking like right about now?
I don’t understand this.

Currently watching CBJ-TB game 4 on NHL Network.
The chills, watching the domination all over again - seeing how well they played, and their potential. *Le sigh*

I promise I'll stop talking about this by the start of the season, but holy crap, after sweeping the Lightning, too few of our key guys showed up in the Boston series. That still burns my a**.

We needed Anderson to be a bigger influence on that series. He tried too hard and took himself out of his element. He was perfect against Tampa because they had nobody to deal with him. Boston had brawlers to deal with him, and while he wasn't bad in the series, he wasn't great either. If Anderson played the way Jenner did, we would have had a very good chance.
Outside of game one in Tampa, Foligno was pretty meh all playoff long as well. We needed more.
Bjorkstrand, Texier, Wennberg, and Atkinson were rag dolled and rendered useless. Atkinson at least had opportunities to score though, the other three were lost, but not for lack of effort from Bjork or Texier, they just go pushed around.
All in all I think we could have beaten Boston in the ECF when they had went a few rounds. If we had the Hurricanes route and got to play Boston in the ECF, I think we go to the final.

That game ended the series. We battled back so hard to tie it late only for a bad read on defense to cost us dearly moments later. We win that game, maybe a different story.

Stuff like this is why I forgive Portzline so very, very much. Because, let's face it - as a rumor-monger, he's awful. Constantly wildly speculating, hardly ever distinguishes between what he's heard and what he thinks, and almost never gets it right. But on this actual long-form reporting, going and finding the uncovered angle? He's f***ing brilliant. I'd argue he's one of the best in the NHL.
