Newsbreakers

July 7, 2008
R.J. Umberger has signed a four-year extension with the Blue Jackets, according to the AP. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Our View:Umberger was quiet in the regular season as he only scored 13 goals with the Flyers, but really got hot in the playoffs as he scored 10 goals over 17 games. He could challenge 20-25 goals with the Blue Jackets in 2008-09 while paired with Rick Nash.

June 20, 2008
R.J. Umberger has in fact been dealt to the Columbus Blue Jackets as had previously been reported, according to the Associated Press. The Flyers received the 19th overall selection and a third rounder this year, while the Jackets also picked up the Flyers fourth round pick from tonights draft.

Our View:Umberger scored only 13 times on the year, but he really stepped up in the playoffs scoring 10 times during the Flyers run. Umberger isn't as talented as Patrick Marleau, another name rumored to have been headed to the Jackets, but if he is teamed with Rick Nash, what defensemen would want to face that physical duo?

June 20, 2008
R.J. Umberger could be dealt to the Blue Jackets by the end of the weekend, according to the Columbus Dispatch.

Our View:Umberger only scored 13 goals and 37 assists in 2007-08 with Philadelphia and is not an upper-level center, but he would be a sizable upgrade to the position.
