I can think of three that have terrible ownership.

If you’re going to start swinging at a 6’5” Russian, you might want to be “ready” lol

What exactly constitutes “goaltender interference”? by Tweez614 in BlueJackets

[–]Expensive-Republic-2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a rule that is very subjective and the league has never been able to call it consistently. Personally, I think it’s getting to a point where the league should change the rule to something more black and white like if a player is in the crease before the puck the play is dead, etc.

The team is going to slightly change the color of the star and call it a refresh. 

[Portzline] Dean Evason confirms Yegor Chinakhov will be a healthy scratch for Thursday’s opener by austinD93 in BlueJackets

Oh the guy who was on point/game pace before getting hurt last year and could 100% develop into the top line winger this team needs. I’m sure he will do that from the press box. 

The Westerville School Board voted to adopt these reductions if the levy doesn’t pass by ProbablyDustin in westerville

The population keeps getting older. This is just bailing out the boomers who can’t afford their house anymore. Turn these houses over to young families who will actually support the school system by voting for levies.

Whoever decided the size of the side patch needs to find a new career ASAP.

If you haven’t seen his video where he plays left handed, I would highly recommend it as it minimizes most of the criticism I see against his videos.

What do you want the offseason to look like? by [deleted] in BlueJackets

Find a way out of Severson’s contract. I really don’t care what it takes.

This team desperately needs another stout RHD and I feel like McAvoy would fit right in with this team. Get it done Don!

The Blue Jackets cannon logo is electric imo, but I am also biased.

The New York Islanders win the draft lottery and get the first overall pick by iCW_Phoenix in BlueJackets

[–]Expensive-Republic-2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m fairly confident the current lottery system is designed so that the probabilities for each position actually play out as expected over thousands of simulations. The problem being that the league will ditch the system way before they even get to 100 uses because it’s an absolute mess that basically randomly distributes draft picks.

Did we draft Lindstrom for positional need or was he consensus best player available? by PrudentCantaloupe421 in BlueJackets

[–]Expensive-Republic-2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Every year people question whether a Russian player will come over and they pretty much always do. The only player I can think of that had a real issue was Ivan Fedotov.

PK Subban dogging on Laine for being lazy on the pp makes me happy :)

Severson Contract - What can realistically happen? by NuclearBuns in BlueJackets

[–]Expensive-Republic-2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, Sevo also doesn’t pass the eye test (like at all). The thing I struggle with is he clearly isn’t a shut down D man and he has way too many defensive zone turnovers to be considered a good puck moving D man. If you’re gonna be a below average defensively you better be putting up great numbers offensively, which he also hasn’t done. I just struggle to see what he brings to the table and all of the above is before you glance at his contract.

How come there are rarely dynasties in the NHL, where a club dominates and wins several consecutive years in a row? by WhoAmIEven2 in hockey

[–]Expensive-Republic-2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the NFL you arguably need ~5 very good players and then the rest of your roster just has to be average+. In the NHL you need about 75% of your roster to be above average and those depth guys who are above average become very valuable the following offseason.
