NEW.ERA Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I think it's a solid return.Erixon, albeit a major wanker and I will never care for him. Will probably be a top four defenseman, and Columbus is building that area like a boss. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 As per Larry Brooks following the deadline:(Sather) is believed to have offered the Blue Jackets a five-asset package including Brandon Dubinsky, 21-year-old top defense prospect Tim Erixon, highly regarded 2011 first-round draft choice J.T. Miller and 2010 second-round pick Christian Thomas, along with a 2012 first-round selectionScott Howson is a noob.

evanmaldonado Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Adrian AucoinTim ErixonJack JohnsonJohn MooreRyan MurrayNikita NikitinFedor TyutinJames WisniewskiI gotta say I like our defense quite a lot. It's really up to Bob and the offense now for us to be respectable. Hopefully Dubi bounces back after the change of scenery. A lot less pressure here in Columbus for him.

crashcarson15 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Holy hell, Scott Howson, you're a :censored:ing idiot. Congratulations, you just traded a perennial all-star for at best a second line center, a third line center, and a second pairing defenseman.

NEW.ERA Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I just can't get over the karma that was handed to Tim Erixon, hilarious. Scary thought though now in NYC. Gaborik-Richards-Nash. Eww... At least they're not in my conference. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I wish Howson had been interested in building a defense three years ago. It's a little late in my opinion to look like a guy who has a plan for this team. The defense doesn't look as terrible and the farm system was recently ranked in the top 10 (which should happen when you continually draft high and trade for prospects), but Howson's gotta go and he probably should've been gone in the middle of last season. He doesn't know what he's doing. Fire Howson (from the cannon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashcarson15 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I thought I read something here that ranked the Jackets farm system 29th in the league...But, this:I wish Howson had been interested in building a defense three years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcan'tseeme Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The price must have dropped big time, if GM's were saying this is too high than dear lord. This isn't much of anything IMO that draft pick may as well have been a 2nd due to how late it will end up. They traded top talent for bodies, but it isn't enough bodies to go all Florida Panthers on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I might be lost in the shuffle; however, can you please explain the Tim Erixon hate, NEW.ERA?Sorry haha.Ahh just whined his way out of Calgary, I think most of it was that Darryl Sutter never signed him ASAP. But he pretty much cried his way out of here to go to New York, to be near is Daddy (Jan Erixon) and now he's on his way to Columbus, full circle of crap! So I just think it's hilarious, don't get me wrong I think he'll be great, but it's just what he did to the team that drafted him.

NEW.ERA Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 BTW The Rangers and Columbus only play once - April 5th at Nationwide Arena.I wouldn't boo, but I'd understand why. But, I'm sure those boos would be directed at Scott Howson, if he's employed by then.Also any guesses on the Captain of the Jackets? If they do indeed roll with one.RJ Umburger or Jack Johnson would be my guess.I might be lost in the shuffle; however, can you please explain the Tim Erixon hate, NEW.ERA?Sorry haha.Ahh just whined his way out of Calgary, I think most of it was that Darryl Sutter never signed him ASAP.

cameroncrazie07 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Can't say that I'm not happy with the Rangers getting Nash, to be honest Dubinsky was really a bum last year so parting with him shouldn't be too hard. I always liked AA and thought Erixon had some potential but if only giving them up meant getting Nash then I'm all for it. The only thing that bums me out is I'll have to change my sig now with Dubinsky gone. The Core 4 Sports Podcast Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 On a design-related note, Rick Nash has now been a member of the only two teams whose helmets don't match their pants.
