Not as good as any of the players they've given up to get all this cap room at all.

There is talk of Boone Jenner being moved back to the wing.
Just because Foudy is a good prospect with some playoff games under his belt doesn’t mean he’ll play.
Grigorenko is most likely a winger if Boone does stay at 3rd line Center, especially with Koivu being the 4th Line C.

what was the point of giving away those defensemen for free?

This Columbus team is going to be very tough to play against. They are getting really solid with smart hardworking players.

Interesting move. Jarmo is confusing me with CBJ's asset management and drafting but somehow I am still intrigued to see what this team does next year, I think they are going to outwork most teams most nights and if their goalies can hold up, watch out eastern conference....

It’s only $1.5 million. They clearly have another move in mind.

Not a bad signing. Playing 8-11 minutes/game as 4c. Solid pk player and good at faceoffs.
Playing a Jay Beagle kind of role for them I guess. Also brings leadership and experience. Like it that its only 1 year at a reasonable price.

I told you guys that this hypothetical trade deadline deal was a good idea. It didn't happen to MIN, but CBJ still managed to do something like it.

I dig that one. Koivu brings some nice experience and he should work well in a defensive minded environment.

OK it all makes sense now.

Nutivaara, Murry and Wennberg we're all dumped to make room for Koivu.

I like it! Keep getting younger!

I'm a big fan of this deal. Cheap cost, he'll be a good locker room leader, he can improve the bottom six, and he'll take the important faceoffs.

Really makes you wonder why he didn't waive his NMC at the deadline for a contender. Sounds like Guerin had interested, but Koivu wanted to stay on the same team.

Take care of him Columbus!

Something must be in water in Columbus. Two centres quit on their team.
