Hi Paul,
Nice article, and I am glad the CBJ is getting some people in the event.
The question I have is simply: "Why should I care?"
This is a meaningless exhibition, a notch below the Olympics, and there is no world championship or anything else at stake. I want the CBJ to win the real world Championship, The Stanley Cup.
If you or anyone has an explanation for why I should care, please post it.
Thanks!

Its a fair question. Its a gimmick event but still, its competitive hockey when there normally isnt any.
As far as the Jackets go I think could be a real good learning opportunity for the young guys and a chance to further develop. Murray and Jones will be up against all star lines and will have to try and learn how to shut them down. That should help them and will help the Jackets.
