Blue Jackets fans have to be hoping this is just a terrible case of everyone spelling Chris Kreider wrong.

Man, what a brutal trade this was. Rangers absolutely fleeced the Jackets in this deal... horrible.

We better get Weber.

DelZotto was the Rags worst d-man in the playoffs, and Dubinsky was a healthy scratch at times.

Howson getting his skull penetrated by tapioca boy Sather.

Sather probably did this ahead of the Weber resolution to get the Flyers to panic and overpay. We shall see if he succeeds.

Rangers got the best player, but it isnt as bad as some are portraying. I factor is Nash being highly over rated. Dubinsky is a solid player as in Anisimov.

I think the Rangers may have gained 5 or 10 goals, but have hurt themselves in the defense, grit department.

On the good side, The Ryan market just got a little more affordable if the Flyers decide to go that route if the Weber deal falls through.

Aaron Portzline‏@Aportzline

TSN has Dubinsky, Anisimov, Erixon and 1st to #CBJ. Told #CBJ are sending a 3rd-round pick and a minor-league defenseman to the Rangers.

i think they will be running low on prospects/young forwards after this Weber deal (along with picks) to make a real offer for Ryan unfortunately.

but Doan AND Ryan would be cool....wouldn't be as sexy of a deal for Doan w/out Weber tho

Holy (frank) is this a joke? A 3rd and 4th line player, a first round pick that will be at the end of the first round...

Howson getting owned yet again. How does this help CBJ rebuild? Better hope that first turns into a Claude Giroux type pick and Erixon maxes out his potential.
