I agree. Just when the Jackets have had the closest chance ever to making it to the playoffs, they go and trade the guys they are going to need to make it through the playoffs. And I even bought tickets for tonights game because it seemed like they got back in the grove again. I guess only time will tell. I can see Chimera, Modin, Vyborny or possibly Peca becoming the new captain if they even assign one before the end of the year.
But if you look to the bright side, we have been picking up draft picks left and right. So if we pick up a good amount of young players this year, hopefully we will have a team when they are ready in about 2-3 years.
