I spot a change.

They changed the name font on the back of the jersey to the same font as in the stupid loving shoulder patch cannon logo they switched to two years ago. If they changed the number font as well, this is going to be garbage. :fuckoff: :ramsay:

I know nothing about typefaces and even I think those serifs look like trash.

I remember when they changed from the original "CBJ" logo to the star and burgee as the primary I was worried they'd change the nameplate/number font to whatever they'd rolled out with the team's rebrand. They left it alone, fortunately, because it looked cool and good. Don't know why, I just liked the stylized look of the names and the tall, supposed-to-be-Civil-War-looking-I-guess numbers.

Doesn't appear the case here.

sounds like the blue jackets have agreed to a deal with vegas, their first rounder (#24) this year + a prospect and in exchange Vegas will draft one of Matt Calvert, Ryan Murray, or William Karlsson. David Clarkson might also go back the other way

Jamwad Hilder posted:

Aren't those three guys good too? Who were they worried about Vegas taking

Columbus is in a unique position in that most anybody they lose is decent-to-good in some role. Calvert and Karlsson are both 3rd/4th liners who make up the top PK unit; Calvert is good for 10+ goals a year usually despite where he plays and is probably the grittiest player on the team (if Hartnell goes away). Karlsson is defensively strong. The only reason I would want Murray kept is trade bait, because JMFJ-Savard was a solid pair last season.

If Vegas were to take Lukas Sedlak, they've dodged a massive bullet, but it doesn't look like he's part of the condition. No matter what happens, Clarkson's cap space being Vegas' problem allows Wennberg and Anderson to be re-signed.

Aye Doc posted:

William Karlsson, Joonas Korpisalo, or Josh Anderson

Word is it's Wennberg, not Karlsson, they're protecting, which is interesting because the two have been friends since Juniors and makes me wonder who their protected forwards are. My armchair list was Saad, Foligno, Dubinsky, Hartnell, Atkinson, Jenner, Wennberg.

CBJ pretty much went as I predicted a couple months ago:

Foligno, Saad, Dubinsky, Fartsmell, Wennberg, Jenner, Atkinson

Jones, Savard, Murray

Notables exposed: JMFJ, Korpisalo, Anderson, Calvert, Karlsson, Gagner, Sedlak, some of whom are covered by the rumored trade.

In case any of you non pens fans don't realize this, every person in Pittsburgh is looking at that extra cap space Fleury leaving would grant us and thinking about a dynasty.

Two straight Stanley Cups AND getting to shed an albatross contract (albeit one which contributed heavily to the second Cup win) is like a slam dunk followed by an and one.

I wonder if Columbus' font isn't finalized yet. The slideshow below seems to have two different fonts- one with tall, thin letters and another which appears to be using the letter font on the shoulder patch logo.

Can't the Blackhawks just send him to their escrow team in Florida like they seem to do every now and then?

And go figure we get the least fun option for the Penguins and Fleury. Golden Knights and Golden Horseshoes.
