Crunch Time

With the loss of Picard its time for CBJ management to listen to Zenon and sign Lance Galbraith for the rest of the season.  He has over 62 points this season and would fit in great on this roster.  Zenon has played his a$$ off this year so why the hell won't CBJ management listen to him now.  Our roster needs a player like Galbraith who can not only score but drop the gloves as well.

Galbraith would be a very welcome addition to this team now without Picard.I've said it before that Columbus is a class less orgaization now.They don't want to better this team.They've had there limit of 4 emergency recalls after the trade deadline,so they should have to suffer with whatever forwards they have.That's what they did to us down here when guys went down hurt and got called up,never gave us guys to replace them and hope our playoff hopes faded like there's has again for another season.Sign this guy already so we can keep getting points and putting space between us and the Bulldogs and maybe catch Manitoba.And yes i agree that Zenon should be in Columbus right now playing but we are talking about Columbus who is just plain classless!!!!!!!!!!

I have to toally disagree here. Why would we want anyone new to come in when we can't seem to loose right now? Maybe Galbraith would be great here but who know's. He is also an ECHL player over the last 2 years and am sure that if he had what it took someone would have signed him to at least a PTO to give him a chance. We are in this position because of the great play by the players we have and bringing in someone new could disrupt it totally. Lets just go with what we have and when Columbus season is over lets hope everyone coming back does not screw things up as well.

The other thing is if we did sign Galbraith he would maybe play for us in the last few games and then just released with nothing. This way he has a great chance with the team he is with now to do something special. He probably plays on the first line and is the go to guy. Here he would be a 4th line player with a couple minutes a game and get nothing out of it except experience. He probably does not even want to come here right now. Lets just go with what we have and go from there.

As for the classless organization come on guys. We have had great talent all year from this organization and will over the next couple as well. Maybe the coach is not the greatest and I do agree with that but there are a lot worse organizations out there. Open your eyes and look as we will probably make the playoffs and a lot of teams won't. If we switch we could be one of the ones that does not and then everyone would wish for Columbus back. Columbus is still a young team and organization and unless my memory sucks Vancouver's affiliation was horrible lets not forget!!!!!!

I understand what you are saying but if we do not need him lets leave it alone. I know Konopka has requested we sign him but remeber we don't really need him. Would it make us better who knows??? Would it hurt us who knows?? All I am saying as I have learned over the years if it is not broken do not fix it. Just affraid it will screw things up. Jarman is probably not the answer either but it is the 4th line and it is a crash line. Mirasty does great and I think he is special. Wether it is Jarman, Galbraith, or whoever it does not matter in my opinion. We are well on our way with the playoffs unless a total breakdown lets just get there and maybe Galbraith plays here next year. I just don't think we need him this year is all. I just think people are panicing when things are going great is all.
