Dubois plays rw or center not lw
I agree with your ranking. They're going to be a great team! Very through analysis.
Just a week ago you had Columbus finishing 6th in the Metro behind Pittsburgh, New York, Carolina, Washington, & Philly & then made a video of why you don't have Columbus making the playoffs. Now you make a video saying how talented & deep they are & have them finishing 2nd in the Metro. I love your videos but I've been noticing you flip back & forth a lot on your opinions & I'm not a fan of that especially when teams haven't changed there rosters at all in the past week so there's no real reason to change your mind drastically from 6th in the Metro too 2nd.
You said this team shouldn't fall back and you don't see them doing so this coming season, But they did fall back last season. Down the stretch they lost 8 of their last 11 games. They had a 15 win streak and a lead in the division only to fall to third place in the Metro. Penguins exposed CBJ in the playoffs. They were not legit. First round exit for CBJ again.
Torts is a great coach…until…
Dubois will go back to the Qmjhl if he don't make the team this year or gets sent down as he is still to young for the AHL.

listen to what you say about cloutier and instead, substitute luongo. fits perfectly as well.
i peg Columbus as a deep playoff run(maybe the cup), or they don't get in at all
Man. Columbus is deep. Really deep. I had them pegged as 3rd in the Division behind Pittsburgh and the Rangers but I think I might be wrong. Columbus has a really good team.
Dubois can't play in the AHL due to a weird agreement between the NHL and CHL (the junior system that includes the QMJHL, OHL and WHL)

I was actually really pleased when Torts came in to Vancouver. I have a lot of time for the guy. CBJ are a solid team. I think/hope they make the playoffs again next season. They can be fun to watch
Nothing to not like about this team. Really excited about Alex Wennberg to take the next step and establish himself as a No1 C. Kekalainen did one heck of a job there. I hope the breadman will do well there. They are an obvious playoff-team.
Chicago leftovers(Motte) DOESNT go to Carolina?!?!
u say it like leeeeaankooopiingg
Mehhh I'm not sure if they would be second in the metro at the end of the season next season but we shall see
They could beat any team that's not Pittsburgh in the playoffs
I'm just curious how the jackets will handle the pressure because teams will see them as a team to beat this year. Similarly to last year as they finished up their winning streak
You forget a few other young guns that are waiting in the wings. Vitaly Abramov, A 19 year old winger, he lit it up last year and was the MVP in the Q. Also 21-year old Sam Vigneault is probably a better bet than Schroeder, and has Anderson size to boot. Camp will be very telling.
Dubois has always played better as a center at every level hes been at. He starts at wing then moves to center and plays awesome. Bob is the backbone, but if he has an "off year", they will still be a contender because Korpisalo is a beast of a backup.
I Love The Jackets!!
The Jackets went 8-13 after Murray broke his hand. Went 2-8 after losing Sedlak to an upper body injury. Murray will be playing for his next contract in 2017-18. Isn't that a good thing? Torts loves Sedlak. I think he could push for Dubinski's spot as well? Just my 2 cents! Glad I found your channel! You can thank Post to Post for it! Go Jackets!
Cbj is giving Dubois the roster spot. It's his to lose
Great video
Id pretty much agree with you as a cbj fan. Good video. And i shared this to a blue jackets fan page so you should be getting alot more views! Cheers
Not in the playoffs
How did Columbus get an NHL franchise? That must be like the weirdest awardings for a team. Cincinnati and Cleveland are large markets but I guess they didn't want to repeat the failure of the Barons in the late 70's. Columbus is a congested city because of its Ohio State market and Buckeye fans in general. Are they really afraid that they didn't choose Cincinnati or Cleveland since they're like 10 times bigger than Columbus? Do you think this is the strangest bid for a hockey team in history?
Why was this in my recommended
