Blue Jackets Land Nichushkin!

imo c on d is still a huge need, cant believe theyre just gonna roll with the same d pairing ngl nichushkin is an upgrade but man, i thought we were gonna do more

tbh i agree w u c on d is still a huge need but nichushkin is def an upgrade, maybe theyre gonna use him as an enforcer kinda situation and open up some space on the d

idk but nichushkin was defntly a priority for me too and i think your point about him being an enforcer kinda situation makes alot of sense @BlueJackets9 seems to be on the same page with me on that dont get why they're sticking w the same d pairings though

agree enforcer makes sense 👊🔥 nichushkin's gonna be on the wing 😂

honestly think we're getting ahead of ourselves calling nichushkin an enforcer, idk if thats how they see him but he's a skilled scorer tbh @moe53

ngl i think thats a fair point though, cant just assume he's gonna be an enforcer at this point, lets see how he develops w/ the team @BlueJacketsHopeful makes sense imo

ngl i think we're gettin too caught up in assuming nichushkin's role, let's see how he fits in with the team's system imo @greg_bluejackets

tbh i think nichushkin is a high upside signing and we shouldnt be expecting him to fit into an existing role so much as create his own man @moe53 do you think hes gonna challenge for the top 6 or is he more of a depth addition?

@BlueJacketsHopeful i see ur point but tbh im still expecting him to slot into ceci's spot on the wing honestly think thats a good fit and we can get more o-zone time that way @moe53

idk man greg i think nichushkin has too much skill for just slotting into ceci's spot, tbh he's gotta be able to score top 6 or its a waste of time @BlueJacketsHopeful thinks so too

tbh i think nichushkin's size and skillset could be a game-changer for us in the o-zone, idk if we're putting too much pressure on him tho

i'm with u tho @section7cbj tbh nichushkin's got too much to offer to just be a depth player, we gotta see him get those top 6 opportunities or else man @greg_bluejackets i think ur still thinking about ceci's spot and not what niku can actually bring
