It would be the Blue Jackets...
A sabotage mission, perhaps?
Phoenix will rue the day.
I agree. This is a GREAT move for Kolarik's future. He's instantly the number one left wing prospect in the system, whereas he'd been a bit buried in Phoenix.
Kolarik should only be traded to the cloning rights of Gordie Howe.
Can someone tell me why this is OT?
Because it is: http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/mgoboard-faq
"OFFTOPIC
* Pro sports of any variety
* Everything else"
It's about pro sports (even though he did go to Michigan).
ONTOPIC
Anything Michigan sports related
Anything related to other Big Ten teams or upcoming opponents
Stuff about the blog itself
University of Michigan topics that don't relate to sports
Since you're obviously trying to be a smart ass with this issue (i.e. given your comment in this thread and in the Porter thread), would you care to tell us exactly how Chad Kolarik, right now, fits into any of those four categories?
"Anything Michigan sports related"
This one is your best bet, but it's not exactly clear. The topic isn't about Michigan sports, it's about a former Michigan athlete, who is playing a sport professionally.
"Anything related to other Big Ten teams or upcoming opponents"
Definitely not.
"Stuff about the blog itself"
Ditto
"University of Michigan topics that don't relate to sports"
Yet again.
Regardless, stop trying to be one of those insufferable posters who is only concerned about stupid stuff like grammar and whether something is on topic or off topic. Nobody cares. Your post didn't add anything to the discussion and it doesn't matter AT ALL whether the post is labeled OT or not.
Columbus also acquired the rights to Matt Rust from Florida, according to the Jackets site.
Poor Chad. That sucks.
