    Columbus Blue Jackets investigating Babcock for using players phones to airplay private info

    in General Hockey Discussion

    The allegations are that he's asking to see players phones then transferring their photos to his computer. Apparently under the guise of wanting to know them better but also sounds like it could be for blackmail down the road.

     

    Personally I would be very surprised if this is true, especially since Babcock knows he's skating on thin ice.

    Ewwwwwwwwwww.... so if I understood this correctly.... basically, Babcock could get hold of players' intimate photos with their partners and..... get some pleasure himself????

    Just got a chance to read the note on forum closure... Anyone knows why it's happening?? Very upsetting news as I come here for juicy rumours.

     

    Well anyhow, it's been a real pleasure exchanging views with a lot of ya. Hope someday we'll have a new Canucks forum!!

    From Ottawa they are. They seem to really like paying ~8M/year for potential. First Chabot, then Tkachuk, then Norris and Stutzle, and now Sanderson. So far Tkachuk and Stutzle seem to have been good bets and Chabot's been up and down. But also 5 players around 8M seems like a lot.

    well.... it's certainly a huge gamble... you have that many top earners and to fit under the cap, the rest of the team gotta be making barely $1-2M meaning some are just AHL calibre or reclamation projects.... sounds familiar to us Nucks fans??

    This is not what i'd pick, but the sort of line-up i expect, over-emphasis on size/mixed lines and kuz stays unloved. 

     

    joshua - Pettersson - Mikheyev

    boeser - Miller - PDG

    beau- blueger- suter

    kuzmenko- studnicka - podz

     

     

    Hughes - Cole

    Soucy - Hronek

    irwin- myers

    Defintely would prefer kuz-pettey-mik. Love to see johansson make the blueline somehow and klimovich to start the season up.

    I was pretty excited when we got Stud... He's got size, RH shot, good speed... But he'll have to be lights out or at least really noticeable showing some grit to earn a spot with us!

    He traded a 2nd to dump Dickinson.   He didn't create that mistake of course,  but he did pay to  fix it. 

     

    I'm  not saying Allvin is making poor decisions,  for the most part he's got us in the right direction. 

     

    But the fact remains we are a non-playoff team with cap issues having to rely on LTIR and that's not a great situation to be in.

     

    What happens if one, or both of, Pearson/Poolman are healthy come the fall?

    Pearson seems all set to come back in time for camp... according to reports. If he can get close to 90% of his past form, he's a useful power forward and a great team guy!

     

    Poolman.... not optimistic at all.. he's like another Ferland... constant concussion problems... he'll stay on LTIR to get us cap relief.

     

    There is no doubt Allvin will trade one or both Myers and Garland to get us cap space... and he'll likely throw in some prospects... like 2 bad contracts + prospects for one bad contract type deal...

    Im not sure PDG makes the team, if we run 13 forwards he has to beat out one of Joshua, Hoglander. or Aman for the spot if we run 14 forwards he still needs to beat out Studnicka and Pearson for the last spot if Pearson is healthy which I dont think he is.

    PDG is awesome... got grit & leadership.. but he's probably easy to flip up & down... Studnicka is definitely on the bubble now... he's got size and speed... RH shot C/W.... supposedly a good fit as 13th forward... oh well, see if he gets any better in preseason!!

    I know he is not a right handed C, but he is a 6'2" Center: with a HUGE draft -1 credentials list and has gotten much better post draft. IMO we got a real sweet forward operator in Aatu Raty. I have followed his progress for about 5 years now. He was the main ingredient, IMO in the trade that brought him here.

    Did you mean Raty being at 6'2?? 

     

    Just checked and found out Pius Suter at 5'11

     

    But ya.. I'm not too fussed about LH/RH as long as he's decent at the FO circle!!
