Good morning, Columbus Blue Jackets fans! Welcome to the ICYMI post on Union and Blue, a daily post containing anything CBJ-related that you or we may have missed the day before. Enjoy and have a great day!
"It is difficult to pass up on signing a Hobey Baker winner for nothing. With the Blue Jackets’ depth with left handed defensemen and the track record of players who don’t sign with the team who drafted them make it an unnecessary risk and distraction."
"Fedorov had speed, vision and an unmatched hockey sense. If he wasn’t a Russian, he could easily be considered a top ten player of all-time. He was the first European trained skater to win the Hart trophy and owns too many Detroit Red Wings records to list."
"As fans flocked to games at the end of last season, the team had plenty of momentum behind it. Now they are turning it into a tangible amount of tickets. Nationwide Arena’s atmosphere will be better for it."
"“Pierre-Luc can not only make our team this coming season,” general manager Jarmo Kekalainen told the Columbus Dispatch at the time. “He can make our team better.”"
"“My dream is to play in the NHL and I want to make Columbus,” Dubois said. “I’m concentrating on making Canada since I’m here at camp, but when I go to Columbus I’ll start thinking about them.”"
We hope you enjoyed this edition of ICYMI! Make sure to check back tomorrow and get more CBJ news and opinions.
