Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 A lot of the above has come from the Athletic article "Why Columbus" For anyone who is the wrong side of the paywall: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's be honest, being in Columbus is basically the same as being in Calgary when it comes to his ability to see family during the grind of an NHL season. I could be wrong, but I don't think these guys have the time to jet around the country to have dinner with mom and dad, even on an off day. But he has time to drive the equal amount of time?

That could've been near the top of the list of why he wanted out of Canada. Who knows, who really cares... it's over now. I want to see brat signing this week. And we pretty much didn't have wood all last season, so we should be better. Blackwood should be on the shortest of leashes to be the 1a...

Not denying that at all. This isn't the NBA, it's not like he had to miss half the schedule a la Kyrie Irving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Im also happy we didn't throw insane money at a player like him cause you have young guys watching on the team. You throw 10 millions to JG and Bratt and his agent are like.... well now that your wallet is open...... Jack and Hischier took real good bargains and im hoping that its influencing the whole team kind of like Mackinnon in Colorado. Even better... we see that it worked for Mackinnon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 After this whole thing i'm just worried that one day Jack Hughes decides he wants to be closer to home and signs with Colorado 😖 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully by then this is a competitive team that at least one of his brothers is on and he will have no real reason to want to leave. If we aren’t a competitive team in 8 years I’m sure most of us will be in the looney bin anyway so we won’t know where Jack goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerzey Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I won’t lie I did want Gaudreau but I’m kind of relieved we won’t have to worry about the size of our top 6 yet at least. Bratt, Hughes, and Gaudreau on the top 6 could have been a lot of trouble against bigger teams. Still an experiment I would’ve like to have seen.

I said to myself then, ‘This looks like a really fun place to play.’” Ah i see, Johnny. Did the part where they fired money out of the cannon at you help? 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he is 1A at this point, if we manage to sign Vitek (and I imagine we will), I think they will basically be on even footing and their time will be based on their performance.
