Jason Allison will be joining the BlueJackets tomorrow as the Jackets recently completed a deal that will send Jozef Stumpel and Marcel Goc to New York. Jason Allison and a 2nd round pick in 07 are coming Columbus' way. After thoughts that J.P. Dumont could revitalize the Jacket's offense didn't come to fruition, a drastic change was deemed necessary. Allison brings an excellent offensive game along with they physicality and strength that Columbus has been missing. After scoring only 4 points in 12 games so far, P.M. Bouchard has been deemed unready for top six duty by the Jackets brass, and will be demoted to the 3rd line with Stephane Yelle and Steve Begin as soon as Allison hits town.
If Ally's plane gets in for tomorrow's game expect the following combinations:
Prospal-Weight-Gionta
Kariya-Allison-Dumont
