Nave Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Happy for Torts.Even more happy for that 2nd round draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3. Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 This makes me feel a lot better about Vey costing us a 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milk and honey Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Torts got the same value as Bieksa. I don't know how I feel about that tbh. Good for torts to get a young team and he can repair his image a bit. Good for us for getting something for torts! good for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 They're already defending the 0-1 deficit every night, so what the hell - may as well gameplan it. Anyhow, sweet kickback of a 2nd rd pick - can't say I'd consider Torts worth it if I were the CBJ, but we'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNeil Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Yeah a 2nd rounder is a nice bonus. But realistically their team sucks so far. I can't see them turning around this season.So I imagine this 2nd rounder will be their 2018. 6-7 years before that player would be expected to make the Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 In theory Torts is exactly what CBJ needs: a coach who will make everyone responsible in all three zones. But in practice it didn't work with the Canucks, but it did work in the past. High-risk, high-reward decision IMO. Pretty much bang on here...Just because it didn't work for us,doesn't mean that it doesn't work for a different team..Saw his presser and he said all the right things..basically,he has an open mind at the start,and he will take it from there...I think he has a real good shot at redeeming himself.

Best of luck to the Jackets, and thanks for the 2nd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a torts kind of roster. Dubinsky, Clarkson, folingo, and Saad are all meat and potatoes in your face players. They also have youth and speed. Torts had none of that here. I think he will be a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 this move is going to help further tank them. John Torterella is considered a coach that is best used with older players, Columbus is full of younger guys. But hey, its not a bad move. Torterella is a proven winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insomniac604 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 lol, man. after what he did to the Canucks I was sure he wouldn't be a head coach in North America anytime soon. then hockey USA breathed life into him and now look. GL to Columbus. Hopefully they get a few good years out of him before people are sick of it all.He needs to soften himself. Making players hate practices and risk being screamed at over a mistake isn't the way to go. Personally I think he lucked out in Tampa which validated him way too much. To the point that he kept spiraling within himself instead of growing, adapting and maturing.You can be tough and emotional but still endear yourself to players. Roy is a good example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torterella is a proven winnerTortorella is known as a coach that is best used with younger guys..When he won the SC in Tampa, it was with a young core of players..He considers himself a teacher to young players..and as you said,he has a winning record as a coach.It was a good time as any to fire Richards,..It's early enough in the season that the Bluejackets still have time to redeem themselves..They've got the personnel to do it (providing Bobrovsky gets back into form).

oldnews Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I like the CBJ - like their young players and the base they have to build around - but I don't like this move, at all. Aside from a couple guys, I don't think they have the kind of players that suit Tortorella - I imagine he'll love having Jenner, Hartnell, Prout to work with, but I think overall this will be another failed experiment in hastily attempting to force a misfit.
