@CBJcenter @CBJ_Opinions Also had the jackets listed for Byram. I still don’t see the fit there

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@CBJcenter Only other potential add is backup goalie. So this is the team it was last year plus a shuffled bottom 6

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@003sleazy @BlueJacketsNHL If you think this deal is worse than Severson, you have no clue what you’re talking about.

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@IrishCBJ @Aportzline I think it’s this way for all teams though. Who has gotten better other than Vegas and Montreal. Basically no one. Everyone even top teams are just resigning their own.

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@osubluejacket @UnionAndBlue He was never in on Gibson.

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@UnionAndBlue Hot take: Provorov is not the issue, and not who y’all are mad about. His cap percentage is basically flat and he’s been fine… it’s Severson and the inability to remove him from that mix. Severson has been and will continue to be the massive issue.

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@willie_lutz People melting down, and while I don’t LOVE the term. The AAV that most people are complaining about is relatively flat cap percentage wise. He’s a solid guy. The real problem is Severson but that’s not fixable

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@JFreshHockey I get sick of the crap we take as jackets fans… but wow is that one worth a roasting DW.

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@Aportzline Idk pretty interested where Ehlers and Boeser are going to land. I think both players have been overshadowed unfairly for how great they are by Marner in this market. I’d take either on the jackets to be frank, that just doesn’t seem realistic.

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@StingersStinger @CBJcenter I could be wrong, my theory is they’re going to push hard for a major FA forward tomorrow and get it done. Which would be a departure from the culture
you are saying here.

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@CBJcenter And there’s your explanation for the return to Provorov and the rumored Gavrikov interest

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@1stOhioBattery Big yikes when option 3 on the list is Cody Ceci

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@PMike96608721 @Aportzline I buy that with Fabbro.lkid was very good and didn’t even get camp. Might take even bigger step in year two. Provorov has been here, but allowing for growth there too just less optimistic. I will say I can live with returning Provorov if they flip out Elvis for a better vet.

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@CBJcenter Don’t love this. I liked bringing Fabbro back, Provorov playing his offside was serviceable but not ideal.

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@CBJcenter Small, offensive defensemen who plays on left side…not at all a fit imo.

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@CBJcenter He’s going to be great in a bottom 6 role

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@domluszczyszyn your jackets trade grade and analysis in article was disrespectful. We’ve known how you truly feel about our market since your moment of truth on the PDOcast when JG13 signed… but atleast try and mask it somewhat Dom

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@JFreshHockey When you’re playing him as your 4th line center, think you have a good lineup.

[Jayjay Irish @jayjay_irish]

@UnionAndBlue This is a good trade. You just changed the bottom six completely in a good way.
