Playoff team?

Question

Nash Marleau Modin

Filatov Umberger Malone

Chimera Malholtra Fritsche

Boll Brule Vorbacheck

Klesla Hejda

Rome Tollefsen

Russell Wilson

LeClair.

( im putting into account that Zherdev will PROBABLY go to SJ for Marleau.)

but do you think this is a playoff caliber team?

Answer 1

You are aware that Ryan Malone told Blue Jackets management earlier this week that he has no intention of signing with them (that's what scuttled the deal earlier this week)

Answer 2

Huge IFs there..... You dont have Malone and Marleau yet! You are also assuming that Filatov adjusts to the speed of the NHL off the bat. Highly unlikely. He may even need some time in the AHL. You never know!  Dont count your chickens before they hatch!

And that D core  is WEAK at best! Their is no number one Dman or even a solid 2 on that team!

Who is to say someone doesnt OFFER Leclaire a huge amount that the Jackets wont match..... you are assuming too much here... you got to sign those guys first or trade for them!

Answer 3

you guys dont have patty marleau yet & who knows if you guys will get him.
