One of my favorite #CBJ players growing up — I’ll be rooting for Manny!

[Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli]

Sources say #Canucks have a deal in place to make Manny Malhotra the 23rd head coach in franchise history.

Zero surprise, the Canucks’ Calder Cup winner isn’t going anywhere. He’s won with Johnson and was a teammate of the Sedins.

Announcement and timing TBD.

Good for Foudy. Always rooted for the guy #CBJ

[New York Islanders @NYIslanders]

#Isles News: The New York Islanders have signed forward Liam Foudy to a one-year, two-way (NHL/AHL) contract.

Inspired by a comment by the great @/katwhetstone_, what’s your starting lineup of your favorite all time #CBJ’s? Not necessarily the “all time good” Blue Jackets. Just your personal favorite players.

Mine?

Sanderson - Fantilli - Nash

Tyutin - Savard

Bobrovsky

@RichSaluki Ah I misread your reply — yeah, I think the bottom line for me is this: take the emotion out of it and improve the team.

[chad @DC_CBJ]

I like Marchment but the Coyle signing makes that tougher, and not because of the money.

#CBJ needs to get faster up front to help their forecheck. Need to add some speed to this top nine.

Fans saying you have to bring back Marchment, you're basically saying you want to run it back with the same top 9, barring a shocking trade. Do you think this gets us closer to a cup? Something has to give here. #CBJ

It’s a @monstershockey gameday! Cleveland begins its AHL North Division final tonight at home vs. Toronto. The Monsters have home ice for the five-game series that leads into the league’s final four. #CBJ

I took a monthlong break from hockey twitter after the #CBJ season ended, strongly recommend

[chad @DC_CBJ]

Well, yes #CBJ

Elliotte Friedman: Re Zach Werenski/Blue Jackets: Depending on what happens with Boone Jenner, he's their next captain - 32 Thoughts (5/13)

[chad @DC_CBJ]

Imagine thinking the #CBJ have $8m in cap space. We have a lot of problems, but cap space sure isn’t one of them buddy-o

[Derek Dunn @SuitableAlias]

I'm not saying the Flyers will do this, but...

Theoretically...

One could offer sheet Adam Fantilli to $9.25M while CBJ has $8.7M of cap space.

The compensation would be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round pick. Which isn't crazy.

[Jake Zuckerman @jake_zuckerman]

the big five, as we say in the newsroom

[chad @DC_CBJ]

@RichSaluki Well idk what to tell you if you’re already inside my brain as to who’s off limits

[chad @DC_CBJ]

@RichSaluki Depends on who’s made available/who is willing to extend. For me, few would be off limits. Really need another bona fide top winger on the top line.

[chad @DC_CBJ]

@Aportzline The Athletic posted an NHL Agent Survey criticizing #CBJ leadership for being disorganized. What’s your take on CBJ organizational leadership compared to other franchises? #AskPorty

[Pierre LeBrun @PierreVLeBrun]

Further to @Aportzline here, hearing that Rick Bowness has agreed to an extension to stay on as HC of the Blue Jackets. Should be made official at 2 pm ET news conference.

[1st Ohio Battery @1stOhioBattery]

Per @PierreVLeBrun, Rick Bowness has agreed to an extension to stay on as head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets. #CBJ

[chad @DC_CBJ]

@971thefan @1Tyvis @BoneAndTyvis971 Is the full interview posted somewhere? Thanks! #CBJ

[chad @DC_CBJ]

Sorry….quitting being a fan after…LAST season?? Be so serious. #CBJ

[CBJ Artillery @CBJArtillery]

Just wrapped up a one-year, self-imposed suspension for not giving a shit… taking notes straight from the team!

[Dave Holmes @DaveHolmesTV]

Here's 10 seconds of Rick Bowness' rant followed by five minutes of reaction from the CBJ players.

[chad @DC_CBJ]

I feel like people are missing the mark here.

Bones clarified they cared — of course they do. But they didn’t care ENOUGH to overcome adversity when it got hard. Or when it “didn’t matter.”

Nobody likes to lose. But his point was that they don’t hate losing ENOUGH. #CBJ

[Aaron Portzline @Aportzline]

So far, theme among #CBJ players - Zach Werenski, Ivan Provorov, and Sean Monahan, with more to come - is that they disagree with coach Rick Bowness’ impassioned “they don’t care” observation. In fairness. Bowness did soften that stance later in his comments.

1/2

[JFresh @JFreshHockey]

Another shrug of a year in Columbus. Six straight out of the playoffs, that's 19 out of 25 seasons in franchise history. One visit to the second round. Tough, fans deserve better.
