Confirmed with Link: James Wisniewski and a 3rd to Anaheim for William Karlsson, Rene Bourque, and a 2nd

[jackets4life]

Hopefully it works out well for Wiz. Has to be disappointing though.

At least he'll be in the lineup...

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Good for Wiz. Carolina is going to surprise people

 

[MAHJ71]

Exactly.. didn't seem like Anaheim really gave him a fair crack.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Wiz blew out his left knee 4 minutes into his 1st game in Carolina. Out 6 months

That sucks. Poor Wiz.

 

[Jovavic]

Been a bad last seven months for Wiz, feel bad for him, was looking forward to watching the Jackets abuse him when they played the Canes

 

[DJA]

Anybody still against the trade?

No, but I'm still waiting for the fix to our D. It's still not right IMO.

That's going to put a real crimp in his golf game.

I do feel bad for him though. He seemed like a good guy. Just unfortunate he couldn't put it together here.

 

[DarkandStormy]

He put it together here fine. 51 points. Management just wanted to move him and his cap hit was no longer able to be absorbed for his defensive miscues.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Anybody still against the trade?

In a vacuum? No. But our D would be better with Wiz than it is right now (obviously if he was healthy.)

Wild Bill's time to shine tomorrow with Wennberg's injury.

Depends how you define "put it together."

He is a defenseman who played poor defense. Unfortunately I don't think our current D is any better.

Not sure I'd go with "poor".

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Anybody still against the trade?

His messing up his knee an offseason and two teams removed is supposed to change someone's mind?

 

[DJA]

No, the 2nd line RW and 3rd line C we currently have in our lineup, and the 2nd round pick thrown in.

Pretty decent trade, IMO, but that's just me.

 

[We Want Ten]

At least he'll be in the lineup...

Hey....about that.

HERE I AM.

You guys are kidding me right? Does a Wiz-Prout or Wiz-Connauton pairing sound good to you? He's not better than Tyutin or anybody else in our top-4. The dude was bad the last 2+ years. Our defense is perfectly fine and nobody would be talking **** about them if it wasn't for Bob and literally a minute and 15 seconds at the very end of a game.

I dunno man... something tells me your wrong about this.

 

[thebus2288*]

Its been what 6 bad minutes of defensive play over the 2 games. What about offense?

Trust me, for being less than 2 full games in, there is plenty of blame to go around.

 

[major major]

The offense had gobs of chances, and would have plenty to show for it if not for King Henrik. "6 bad minutes"? I don't know what you're talking about. It's a duct tape defence. What we've seen is what we should expect from defenders of this quality.

I'm convinced there's more to the story that anyone outside the front office knows about.

It surprised me that they are in 5th place.


5. Carolina 2 0 2
6.Pittsburgh 2 0 2
7. New Jersey 2 0 2

Right. We've got to make this our longest losing streak of the year.
