It's August, when absolutely nothing of consequence happens in the NHL. What do we Blue Jackets fans have to look forward to, this month? Sillinger (eventually) signing a contract extension. (Ho hum, we know it's coming as soon as they agree on dollars.) Evasion telling us who will be on his coaching staff. (Well, that's a little more exciting. Though Waddell took less time deciding to fire Vincent.) Possibly Laine being traded and what the return is. Though I stick by my earliest prediction that he'll be traded in season.
If I was capable, I'd hibernate until mid-September. That would even get me out of jury duty.
