Today is the day the dreams of the CBJ fans get revved up. I'm not so sure. The Blue Jackets said there would be numerous press conferences for their big doings and so far they have made one deal which I felt they overpaid and several potential UFA targets have slipped thru their fingers. They could have gone after Ryan Malone, but we were beaten to the punch by Tampa Bay. JM Liles signed with Colorado along with Stinky Foote. Whoopee we get a 4th round pick since Foote resigned (for 3 mil as opposed to the 4 million he said he had to have). Pitkanen will not be coming here as we have no assets that Edmonton wants. Frankly I am not expecting any big time UFA's to come here. Its pretty sad. We finally have the money to spend and there are not any super stars available so we will (once again) over pay for mediocre talent and still be short of the playoffs. This win now approach will be a failure and before long this team will be a complete afterthought and will be in Kansas City or Hamilton Ontario. Sure Brendan Morrison might sign and it will be an improvement, but look what LA, Phoenix, Tampa, and Edmonton have done. They have gone out and made the deals to improve while we sit back and look in the mirror.
Mirror mirror on the wall please bring Brian Campbell to the fold. And while you're at it have some of his friends come too.
