Jeff Carter traded to LA

Jack Johnson.... LOL and a first is a WIN for CBJ??????

He would not play for Carolina,,,, was the talk of trade rumors forever in LA and now he is in Columbus.... Only a couple the bottom rungs left on the latter.... Maybe he will be packaged to Toronto with Nash.

LA wins this deal.
 
i have to think Toronto is out on Nash. most of what they have to offer are d-men and Columbus is pretty set on d now.

I think Toronto has plenty to get Nash. Gardiner, Kadri, Colborne, Schenn, another high pick when they miss the playoffs....

but CLM doesn't need Schenn or Gardiner. that's the point. they have enough to give up but does CLM want what they have?

Our whole back end is now comprised of a slew of puck moving defensemen. Other than Nikitin we don't have a big bodied defensive minded guy back there, and he's still developing. We still need a #1 or #2 guy like that.

that would be a LOT of salary in the back end.

starting next year...

Wiz - $5.5
Johnson - $4.35
Tyutin - $4.5 (wow, that's a lot for him)
Methot - $3
Clitsome - $1.25
Nikitin - RFA

i guess they could bring in Schenn, but...

1. which guy is out?
2. Schenn is $3.6 - do you really want to spend that much on your blue line?

although, if Howson can find a taker for Tyutin then Schenn works.

I don't think Clitsome is here after the deadline. John Moore has shown that he now belongs and has been progressing very well. He'll be a fixture on the blueline for years to come. There are also rumors that Methot is being looked at by other teams. He's out for the year with a broken jaw, but it's possible for him to be gone my training camp.

Nikitin will be resigned and paired with Tyutin. While I'm not a fan of Tyutin at all and think he's quite the pylon, him and Nikitin have been our best pairing when they were both healthy. From what I know, Nikitin speaks very little english and he has definitely flourished with a Russian across from him.

so right now the 6 that are playing as of the next game are?

Johnson
Wiz
Tyutin
Nikitin
Scott
Clitsome

so replacing Methot with Schenn would work, i guess.

do you think they will keep Nash? just wondering what a CBJ fan thinks.

Well I guess JJ isn't going to be in until Sunday. At that point it'll probably be.

Wiz - Johnson
Tyutin - Nikitin
Moore - Savard/Aaron Johnson

Tonight is probably

Wiz - Moore
Tyutin - Nikitin
Savard - Clitsome/Aaron Johnson

Like I said I think Clitsome will bring back a 4th/5th pick by the deadline.

Honestly I think I feel exactly how the front office does about moving Nash. I'd love to see him on a successful team and he could bring back some nice pieces to reshape our team, but he does a lot of great things for our team and community. I don't think he's moved unless it's one of those great overpayment proposals that are out there on various message boards. I think it's a 50/50 chance that he's moved, it'll just depend on how much another team thinks they need him.

Thats a big :confused: , I really don't know. I want him to stay, but once you start shopping a player as much as they are with him, it seems almost like he's gone. I don't think anything will happen with him by the trading deadline..

they moved Carter and got a decent return - no reason to move Nash now. if they can move Umberger they will have more cap space to work with and can concentrate on finding a goalie and another forward to go with Nail.

It wouldn't hurt my feelings to see JJ in Vancouver but it would be pretty tough to get him in with their cap space.

I was more wondering just based on what their commitment is to winning and how much a guy like that would want to stick around CBJ - and I would think that they could get a good return for him from a number of suiters.

Johnson when interviewed last night was very happy to be going to Columbus. What analysts are saying is that he really wants the chance to be a number 1 d-man. And has no problem playing in Columbus to try and prove himself to be worthy of that designation.

We'll see how it all plays out in the end.

Not unless a similar centerman is coming back in the trade. It wouldn't make any sense for any team. He won't be going anywhere.
