Glen Miller: Jackets Down Detroit In Front Half of Home and Home + Dubi On the Block?

The puck was clearly in before the whistle but Walsh determined that he intended to blow the play dead prior to the puck’s entry into the net.

Does this even make sense. If a puck enters the net before the whistle goes, why should it matter what the ref's intent was. It just shows that he didn't blow his whistle fast enough.

How much do you think Dubinsky would fetch?

I do find it surprising that, even though its new management, Columbus would want to get rid of him. He's still relatively young, a solid producer, and has a highly competitive attitude. He would seem like a great guy to keep in the room while building the team up.

Dubinsky and Boll for Eller and Kristo.

I agree, I've always had a problem with this. I don't know what the answer would be unless they play to the whistle and if there is a question of whether the puck beat the whistle then it goes upstairs.

I don't disagree at all. He works hard even when the puck isn't going in for him and that's exactly the identity this Columbus has.

I would guess Dubinsky could possibly get a roster player/prospect and a second round pick? Maybe that's optimistic but I have to think he might have value. Also, if Columbus held some of that cap hit it could make him more valuable.

I would be shocked to see Dubinsky traded.

A little history: Davidson was offering and trying to get Dubinsky when he was with the Blues.

Last season Dubinsky wasn't seeing the ice or seeing it with productive players after a slow start and that helped dramatically lower his production.

This kid is a good player and at a fair value.

There are a number of problematic contracts on Columbus and that is what was the biggest ding on Howson. So the only Dub is on the block is because no one has any interest in taking on those other salaries. The other aspect is if they think the team is going to be drafting in the top three(looking less likely right now), then you will most assuredly getting a center that can step in next season. How do you look at center now and with what is on it's way to Columbus? Can you project say if you drafted Seth Jones what his value would be and can you move a defenseman now to gain more value?

There are exciting players in this draft going into the third round!!!! The third round!!! There are lots of Europeans rated in the second and third round and Jarmo usually has a good line on European players.

I would think no way Brandon is traded but those salaries Howson made could force COlumbus's hand. But Dubinsky is a player I think in supporting role 2nd third line that puts a team over the line and in the championship circle.

Hope Bob works out for you guys...I think he could be an elite goalie in a few years.

I would say considering his production lately versus salary it will bring his price down. You might get a second rounder in this draft or a decent prospect. The smart thing might be adding talent letting his production go up and then look to trade when his value increases.

The Jackets don't have that many bad contracts on the books IMO. Umberger, yes. Wisniewski, not really. It's expensive and there is a lot of years left but he's a big player for Columbus and if you look at what other guys like Wisniewski got as free agents then I could argue Wiz got fair market value.

Tyutin is a solid D. Yes, his is a long contract but his salary isn't out of line for other D of similar skill.

To me the Jackets have Tyutin, J.J. and Wis as good top-four D. If they draft Jones they are even stronger. Plus they have Murray. I say keep all of them unless someone overwhelms you for J.J.

And as for Dubi, JD knew him from his days around the Rangers organization when he was the TV analyst. I could see Dubinsky being a player he likes and may want to keep.

Those contracts are important for you to hit the cap floor. When you start becoming a playoff team, you will have no problem with Cap Space.

Your new GM scouted Eller when he was with the Blues. Dubinsky for Eller might just happen. He is 5 years younger the Dubi.

I might make that move if I am Columbus. Eller is a similar player and is playing real well with Montreal. He's under contract for one more year at $1.35MM so the Jackets save money too. That's not a bad thought but why would Montreal want to do that?

Dubinsky has more grit, Eller has more skill. Habs need grit for the playoffs.

hey i know a team in dire need of an NHL center

to the isles?? i'd take him.

Pfff the problem in that rumor is Bruce Garrioche , sure Keka may be trying to deal Dubi but to say that there is no market for him is baffling , with the injury of Weiss and Getzlaf resigning the market for players at center became scarse. My bet is Kekaleinen is going to mess around with this and see who blinks first.

Now that being said I do agree on the fact Dubi played his ass off and it may not show on the stat sheet , but when he is on the PK I can breath a little more lightly.

Eller?

I've seen Montreal a few times this year and liked what I saw with Eller, including his grit level. I could see something like that working out for both clubs.

Dubynski contract is awful. At that point, i keep Eller and trade kristo for Boll.

5-2 CBJ today

Hope Bob works out for you guys...I think he could be an elite goalie in a few years.

So far so good. He's been great in the last four games and hasn't had many bad games at all this year.

Hemsky for Dubinsky straight up. Not much difference in money and could help both teams

- aaglass

Problem I have with Hemsky is he is soft. He has only played more than 74 games one time in a 9+ year career. The Jackets play hard all the time and are physical. As talented as Hemsky might be I don't know if he fits with what Columbus wants to build here.

Booth and a pick/prospect for Dubinsky.

Cap hits and terms are close but I would worry about Booth's injury history. I don't think that makes enough sense for Columbus. If Booth was more durable it might be something Columbus would consider.
