Confirmed with Link: Nyquist signs with CBJ (4 years, $5.5M AAV)

[Theo Von]

We have been a dominant overtime team the last 2 seasons. 9-3 in 2017-18 and 8-3 last year. Panarin’s wizardry was a big part of that. Overtime is where I think we will miss Panarin the most.

Nyquist isn't a slouch when it comes to OT, either. He thrives in open space but is also extremely good in close. Obviously he's not of Panarin's caliber but, the Jackets will be just fine in OT games. There's a reason why we were one of the best OT teams and that reason wasn't solely because of #9.

People don't look at this near enough. Thanks for bringing it up.

It's not just about Panarin. It's about an unsustainable exhibition performance which has been the only reason why this team was a playoff team the past 2 seasons. With .500 3 on 3 OT records, the CBJ would not have qualified for the post season either season. Bob's goaltending prowess in OT can't be dismissed either (I am assuming he played the lions share of the games).

You know who else plays 3 on 3, a lot of the time just as much or more of the 5 minutes than Panarin…..?

NORRIS CANDIDATE SETH JONES

They've been 17-6 over the past 2 seasons.

UNSUSTAINABLE!

Jones was/is automatic on 3 on 3. He was always a threat.

My personal favorite:

Can't believe they let Kinkaid go.

worth mentioning that tweet is a year and 7 months old.

You know who played even more than that....?

2 Time Vezina Winner BOB.

Also worth mentioning, is simply the actual names on the list.

Again, some people think that Bobrovsky is the only person who impacts his GAA or SV%. These people, well, nvm. He plays behind 5 other guys, 3 in OT. You know who 1/3 of those guys is, the actual/ONLY 1 guy who actually plays defense in OT, yup you guessed it, current CBJ player, 24 year old, Norris candidate, 10-tool player, SETH MUTHERf***IN JONES!!

Seems like this is the Nyquist thread.

Seems like this is the Nyquist thread.

I really like Nyquist as a player. It felt like he was Detroit’s biggest scoring threat for quite a few years there, and lately he’s slipped more under the radar with the development of Larkin and AA. He’ll certainly pencil in nicely any wing spot in the top 6. Hopefully he can continue without slowing down for at least 3 years of this contract. I think he will get every opportunity to step into as many of Bread’s minutes as possible, while we continue to see Dubois develop as more and more of a force.

 

[Nordique]

1PP opposite Cam, 60+ point season, career high. That's my prediction. He has yet to realize his offensive potential. He's going to do well here.

Allow me to take this opportunity to beg people, when talking about projected lines and parings and whatnot, to always use player name and not numbers. No, this is not a board policy, it's a personal plea.

I'm going to tell everyone it's a board policy. Also no game day lineups posted without a source.

[CBJx614]

Just saw that, I didn't realize he had played with Wennberg or that he knew Cam and Z.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

I just want to point out that 14+46 is 60.

/steps down from soapbox

It’s needed a lot of times on Twitter due to character length/formatting, but yeah, we should prob not use it here.

3 point night for gus. up to 10 points on the season, on pace for 51 points which would be the second highest point total of his entire career.

That’s a bold statement.

How has Gus been for you guys? Miss him in Detroit

He's been just like you told us.

He started off looking meek, but since he's been next to Dubois (a big man) he's been good, very productive.

Solid. Good player. Doesn't wow you but gets the job done.

Awesome he’s a good dude and has really rounded out his game over the past couple of years. Hope he keeps it up
