Regarding Colombus, I'm a big fan of Jarmo. If you guys remember what that organization was before he got there, they never made the playoffs and were maybe the worst franchice in the league the first 15 years of their existance. Now they're at least respectable and have built an identity of being a blue collar type of team. It's not his fault that guys don't want to play there. Yeah the call to not sell Panarin at the deadline was gutsy and had a small chance to pay off but at least you gave the fans something to cheer for and rewarded the team for making the playoffs. He since has recouped the picks by trading guys like Foligno and Savard.
