Just gotta hope we're not on his no-trade list...modified no-trade clause in his contract allows him to submit a list of 8 no-trade teams (that he apparently submitted last night or this morning).TedSheckler;1418436 wrote:Rumors were swirling last night that the CBJ are interested in Pominville. They need a goal scorer. Jackets will be buyers.
He'd be a very good pickup for the Jackets, moderate cap hit, proven scorer, no locker room issues (that I know of)

Trade deadline day. Doesn't feel like there's the same excitement as last year's deadline, but we could still see some big names move.

We've already seen some big names move, Iggy, Jagr, Marrow, Murray, Clowe...who else do you expect to go? Heard rumors Buffalo might trade Capt. America Ryan Miller.gorocks99;1418963 wrote:Trade deadline day. Doesn't feel like there's the same excitement as last year's deadline, but we could still see some big names move.
Edit: Forgot about Bouwmeester, D. Roy, and Marc-Andre Bergeron

I guess Luongo might move too. Maybe I just haven't been paying as much attention this year

Rumors are he'd be dealt to Toronto. I like when original 6 teams are competitive. I think it'd be sweet if all 6 made it this year, and it's looking like they will.gorocks99;1418968 wrote:I guess Luongo might move too. Maybe I just haven't been paying as much attention this year

Kiprusoff and Luongo both saying they don't think they'll be traded today. So far zero trades on the day. C'mon boys, I need to be distracted more.

Brassard, Dorsett and John Moore for Gaborik.
Do not like it.
Edit: In fact, hate it. Awful trade.

I'm ok with it. Dorsett is the only one I'll miss. We got Comeau as a replacement for his role. We need goal scorers. Dorsett doesn't belong on the 1st and 2nd line.
Brassard...bye-bye. Won't miss him. He was basically the last remaining "old Jacket". Underachieved each year.
Moore...Who needs Moore when we have Prout and Murray next year?
Gaborik, we got a goal scorer. Waived his NTC to be here.

[h=3]Got better[/h]Columbus Blue Jackets
Who’da thunk it? The sad-sack Columbus Blue Jackets, perennial sellers of good players, shocking the hockey world by acquiring three-time 40-goal scorer Marian Gaborik from the New York Rangers. In giving up Derek Dorsett (currently injured), Derick Brassard and John Moore, the Blue Jackets gave up three everyday players. But for a team that has qualified for the playoffs just once (and were swept by Detroit in that lone playoff visit) but suddenly finds itself in the hunt for a surprise postseason berth, Gaborik is a definite impact player -- when he’s himself. Gaborik has suffered through a miserable season in New York with obvious friction existing between him and head coach John Tortorella. But he’ll renew acquaintances with former Ranger teammates Artem Anisimov and Brandon Dubinsky, who went to Columbus in the Rick Nash deal last summer, and he’ll get a fresh start on a team desperate for scoring help (they rank 29th in goals per game and 27th on the power play). The Blue Jackets still possess three first-round draft picks in the coming draft and they have Gaborik under contract for one more season at a $7.5 million cap hit. In order to clear room, new GM Jarmo Kekalainen also managed to unload netminder Steve Mason to Philadelphia. Mason can become an unrestricted free agent this summer. The Blue Jackets also acquired forward depth in the form of Blake Comeau, who came over from Calgary for a fifth-round pick.

On paper the Jackets look like a team that should be making the playoffs - would love to see them win a series but that won't happen against Chicago or Anaheim.

Jagr and Gaborik score in their debuts and Ben Bishop had a 45 save shutout. Impressive way to start with new teams.
