And that's why they want us to sign/keep players because they have famous girlfriends.

I was just supporting your argument about the "look at me" complex. But thanks for that.

Haha, sorry, I know what you mean, I was just saying one of the two famous g/fs boyfriends, one I like, haha.

You're right though, people in Ottawa dont want to feel like they are forgotten.

He's only just begun to revamp this crappy D, Russell is really, really good. I betcha he's going for him as well.

Russell would be good Heater but the Jackets aren't giving him up. He's already their best defensemen so it really wouldn't make any sense.

we all can dream, and well, stranger things have happened before, an unbelieve package might pull Russell out of CBJ, but do we want to pay that price, we need to keep our prospects/picks, not wither them away.

Ottawa always tried to short term fix with goaltending and what happens? Gerber, Hasek... Do it right, develope your number 1 guy during a REBUILD year, which next year defently is, the playoffs are still a long shot.

For once it looks like Ottawa is going to handle their goaltending situation correctly.

I'm not asking for a short term fix but it may be necessary. Ever think that maybe Elliott isn't ready? Is it the right thing to force him into something he's not prepared to do? We've seen players rushed in before and it completely destroyed their careers. I don't mind giving him a taste until the end of this season but I want a goalie that's ready to be #1 next season. It may be for the best if Elliott continues to improve down in the AHL.

Right now I think they need Vermette more than they need Russell though.

True but at the same time I don't think they would be willing to part with Russell even if it is for Vermette. I think he's pretty much untouchable.

If we're dealing with the Jackets then there are 2 guys that really stand out.....Leclaire and Klesla. Those are the guys they are looking to trade.

You don't think they'd part with Russell for Vermette? It almost happened back in January when Vermette wasn't anywhere near where he is (although granted, Russell wasn't either).

What makes you think they won't move Russell?

We just got Campolli, why do people want to see Russell here? So we can have the smallest blueline in the league and the softest group of forwards going?

Guys, Vermette wont be in Columbus unless its a 1st coming back.

Howson has said he won't?

Because Russell is too important to their team now. Back in January he wasn't as important.

Okay, fair enough. Depends on if they feel they really need Vermette or not, but I can see this being true and him not being moved.

You can never have enough puck movers, especially blazing fast ones with skill?

That would be my short answer. But y'all know I'd rather keep Vermette.

a full year of Vermette under Clouston might really be interesting, that is provided Clouston is still coaching? I am not sure what to suggest there.

He absolutely should be coaching unless Columbus fires Hitchweiner or there's another substantial firing.
