summer you can you can bet on things like the MLB the NFL is only eight weeks away bet on the Jays to lose free money free just collect those winning what what's the worst outcome use that one yeah the J are going to do it I hope they go on a run and you lose yeah we hoping for like a long time I hope a lot of stuff man I hope a lot of stuff and hey Columbus is hoping that a resurgent sha Monahan reunites with Johnny gdo and finds some magic Patrick l is said to be going out town but uh Monahan G GD had many many good years together in Calgary it's great to see after all these injuries Monahan come back into the four and a centerman who's a high-end 3C lowend 2C given that Chandler Stevenson was 7 and a half million bucks five and a half seems right in line I don't know about you guys but to me this is one of the more intriguing moves of the day cuz just hearing that Monahan and goodro back together and that Columbus actually has a center now that's going to be decent and play and they have so many young centers that are along the way this team might take a step finally well I mean you're looking at it strategically you're looking at it like they have these young guys and it makes sense to I'm looking at it like gosh isn't that going to improve the mood oh yeah the mood has got to be miserable in Columbus after their last couple years you like you think Johnny gdo is like I made a great choice you know what I mean I think this probably lifts his spirits a little bit if Monahan like if this is his new normal if he's just better now and over all of his injuries great signing very good signing however if he gets injured again if the issues resurface this is the rock of Triumph it's it's it's going to tie them to the floor for the better part of a decade 26 goals 59 points last year yeah you're worried the 22 23 season that he spent with Montreal that was like a a slot when he played 25 games still had 17 points though but but he couldn't stay out well I'm talking more about the Flames being like here we're gonna tie a first rounder to you and fire that rocket to Montreal mhm and they he was liked in Montreal oh yeah he was liked in Montreal he did well in Montreal to the point where they were able to get another first round pick for him yeah like it's one of the craziest heists like just found money $100 bill in an old coat um moves that we've seen in recent memory from the Montreal Canadians of course it happened to the Montreal Canadians um I just you know I I obviously want one team to win the Stanley Cup the Leafs uh what's wrong with cheering for something to finally go Columbus's way oh well list Donell dude it's sad I think I think it is though I think the fact that they went out and got Don woodell tells you that they're in they're ready for change after 10 years in in purgatory with kealan and Davidson and and from what I understand Davidson's taken a huge step back from day-to-day responsibilities anyway so this is a completely new Columbus Blue Jackets that we're seeing and I wonder if to get him there it would take a guy like Don wedell they go listen look at what I put together in Carolina look at what I can do for you you just wait you come here you feed Johnny Gad Johnny GD feeds you we'll get you some goals we got young players like Kent Johnson like David EK who else did they draft it was K they have Adam Fant Tilly and yeah they you chov oh yeah like there's there's future there ronov to a lesser degree maybe yeah so there's there's a lot you mentioned marchenko and and I think no I didn't there you go marchenko who scores a bazillion goals you know I I look at this Columbus team and I go okay there was always Talent here uh but this gives you the opportunity to maybe move Boon Jenner to the third line Center you have fantelli at two you have Monahan at one and then you kind of move people around in and there they have pieces and it's just a matter of can it come together and mesh like a good hockey team can and I'm just curious about who their head coach is gonna be because they're still head coach list and it's like okay you bring in that vet because I don't think you can go just un inexperienced head coach again that like Pascal Vincent last year because it didn't go well so who's going to be the head coach for this this new team here let's let's talk a little bit oh my god let's talk a little bit about the room to grow in Columbus there's a lot and how Shawn Monahan can help them Carol marchenko led the Blue Jackets in goals how many goals did he have I know this answer 19 20 23 23 how many players did they have reach 20 goals he's probably them two yeah Bo Jenner had 22 oh Boon Jenner Allstar Boon Jenner to you sir they I mean Johnny gdo had 12 goals he had 60 points though because he had 48 assists because that's what he does um I'd love to know how he got those 48 assists on account of no one scored goals you need goals to get assists how the hell did he pull that off Zack rinsky too by the way had where was the number 46 how hell did you pull that off Sean Monahan will be a welcome Edition Fant Tilly this year is going to be a 20 goal score like I think that's in his cards he had 12 and 49 last year in his his year at Michigan I think it was 30 and 36 if I remember Hockey DB correctly like this guy he scored goals he's going to do at the NHL level eventually and next year could be the year if they're looking to bolster the four group with a Monahan Edition get everybody there and just another year older it could be good it's it's a possibility that I don't think they're in the playoffs necessarily they're not depressing they're not were a complete tank [ __ ] show that's which is an improvement yeah but they also I think it's worth mentioning they didn't mean to be as bad as they were oh yeah they had Talent on the roster like look at their top four on defense rinsky Severson proov EUR don't mind that nope nope uh did you said wensy yeah in there yeah like dude there's it's the way they started their season onward Babcock Kent Johnson showing up out of shape not knowing management not doing what to do with your a check are you a Cleveland monster no you're a Columbus Blue Jacket sorry you're a Cleveland monster that and fan Tilly having his phone looked through yeah Lincoln also sucked like you need you need go tending to be good yeah you can't you can't have M Lincoln like not being able when what was the line woodell had when he requested well no one's trading for that contract he wasn't good so I guess my question is does any of this mean anything if they don't improve in net they had that is very good point they had five guys play in net for them last year they had Elvis M leans who in 41 games was an 897 just bat Bart denil tasov um in 24 games was a 908 that's fine one game from Malcolm suban 9914 it's one game jet Greaves played nine games that dude almost reached double digits and he was a 908 and Spencer Martin played 13 games for them and was an 887 what was the name of the UFT goalie for the Leafs jet there was another it wasn't jet Greaves right no it wasn't Jet grees Jet Alexander jet Alex my bad jet Wu just resigned too actually a couple days ago year of the jet good for Year good weekend for people named jet that's for sure uh so the uh Columbus Blue Jacks now for the Winnipeg Jets this got to be a little bit tough to lose this guy um and to Foley um and we could talk a little bit Winnipeg later but obviously I just want to kind of say Monahan did a good job with the Winnipeg Jets they got a bit of a hole to fill now the Jets to me are a bit a a bit more of a secondary Market team like they is July 1 ever a big day for them not really it's hard no I I don't know when they signed the haluk and um uh shle extensions last year those are extensions exactly already yeah recruiting new players is hard for them but they got this unfortunate situation that they could you know really make lemonade out of with ruer mcgi um would it be so wrong and would it be so foolish to trade rut Rutger mcgi for something that could help you now Nick Robertson yeah no I just don't think total signings today by the Winnipeg Jets Uno who' they get Eric comry I was back for the fourth time fourth time third time uh they brought him back though so there's but like to your point this is not their day it's Winnipeg they don't do this no and and and the only guy they got is someone who had previously been there yeah it's going to be their backup goalie like it's not a big deal I do think there's a bit of an air of like people just don't even consider Winnipeg because like the reputation around the league is just so bad which is really unfortunate for Winnipeg like you should be able to look at the season they had last year and be like yeah I want to play there oh yeah but people are like no Burr cold I I don't want to do that you know what I mean like I spend enough time in the cold I'm a hockey player I want to after the game put some sandals on and walk on the beach yeah and now there's too many player uh there's too many cities where you can do that they're never going to be a big July 1 team and this year's not any different it will be very interesting to watch as free agency continues remember these videos are brought to you by 888 Canada
