  • • Jets’ European & NCAA Prospects Review
    In Arctic Ice Hockey’s final article about the Winnipeg Jets’ prospects under the age of 25, we explore the final four young men on our list to determine the likelihood they ever suit up for the NHL franchise that drafted them. While there are no 1st round selections in the group, the True North club did grab one of the players in each of the next four rounds. Lets go through them i...2025
  • • Jakob Ihs-Wozniak Would Be a Dream Pick For Minnesota
    The Minnesota Wild don’t have a first-round pick this season. They sent it to the Columbus Blue Jackets in the David Jiricek trade, who will now select 20th overall in 2025. Therefore, the Wild must be creative to get something from this draft class....2025

  • • 2024-25 Player Review: Elvis was the lead performer
    Going into the season it was fair to speculate about who the starter would be at the end of the year. Waddell and Evason spent much of the offseason talking about how Elvis needed to be the starter for the team and spoke optimistically about the work he’d done off the ice. Elvis’ play the past few seasons had dipped, but it was fair to question the quality of the play in front. Tarasov...2025
  • • 2024-25 Player Review: Jet is ready for take off
    What started out as a fairly typical season for a promising goalie prospect ended with a bang. It’s impossible to think of the finish to the year without first and foremost talking about Jet Greaves. Jet brought life to a rapidly fading Jackets club that appeared to be dead in the water. Ultimately the playoff bid fell short, but that cannot be blamed on Jet. The plan was to let Tarasov b...2025

  • • Stanley Cup Final/Offseason Open Thread
    Well, we’re finally here: the last series of the 2024-25 NHL season. Ok, we’re not actually here, since for some reason it won’t start until Wednesday, even though both of the conference finals wrapped up last week. WHATEVER. What we have is a rematch of last year’s final, but this time the Edmonton Oilers will have home ice advantage over the defending champion Florida Pan...2025

  • • 2024-25 Player Review: Luca Del Bel Belluz is on schedule
    The Del Bel Belluz version of the many Lucas that exist inside the Blue Jackets organization continues to show steady progression. He got called up to Columbus on January 9th after being among the AHL league leaders in both goals and points. He immediately made an impact. He bounced around a bit in the lineup, but by far the most impactful line combination was the initials line of JvR-KJ-LDBB. ...2025

  • • 2024-25 Player Review: Kevin couldn’t take it to Labanc
    After the trade of Patrik Laine and the tragic passing of Johnny Gaudreau, the Columbus Blue Jackets saw themselves with a shortage of veteran forwards going into the 2024-25 season. General Manager and President of Hockey Operations Don Waddell scoured the league for players that fit the bill and could fill some gaps in the roster. In September, he signed James van Riemsdyk to a one year deal....2025
  • • 2024-25 Player Review: Yegor Chinakhov’s no good, very bad year (except it wasn’t)
    It’s late March, and the Blue Jackets are falling out of the playoff picture. After the high of the Stadium Series win, the Jackets lost eight of the past nine games, including a stretch with just one goal in four games. Something needs to change. The coaching staff decides that that something is Yegor Chinakhov. After missing 39 games due to injury and barely missing that Stadium Series ...2025

  • • 2024-25 Player Review: A tough year for Erik Gudbranson
    The Gudbranson signing has always been contentious, but if you’ve seen the behind the scenes video of the Johnny signing it’s apparent he helped bring Gaudreau to Columbus. Erik spent a year in Calgary with Johnny and they clearly connected right away. His tribute at the beginning of the season was one of the ones that stuck with me through it all and I’ve shared it here again, h...2025
  • • 2024-25 Player Review: Captain Boone Jenner showed up late but made an impact
    The captaincy of Boone Jenner has yet seen the Columbus Blue Jackets reach the playoffs, but he has been productive himself as a top-line center, averaging over a 30 goal pace since 2021. The flip side of that is that each season was cut short by injuries or personal issues (i.e. the tragic loss of his firstborn last spring). This season was the reverse, with the year starting with an injury....2025

  • • 2024-25 Player Review: Justin Danforth provided critical depth
    Can I be honest about some biases? First of all, Justin Danforth is a Short King. He’s listed at 5’8″, which we all know means he’s around 5’6″, which is my actual height. I’m always happy to see small players succeed at this level, which is why Cam Atkinson remains one of my all-time favorites. In addition, Danforth is just a great story. He only made ...2025

  • • Game #56 Recap: Gassed Blue Jackets give up late goal to lose to Rangers
    First Period Despite playing the second half of a back-to-back, the Rangers came out with more energy. They struck first with a wrap-around goal from Arthur Kaliyev. Jordan Harris did a decent job catching up and marking Kaliyev as he came down the left side with speed, but Harris was unable to finish his check. He just bounced off, and Kaliyev was able to continue skating with speed behind the...2025

    In theory, upgrading the Penguins’ defense seems so easy. Just sign a free-agent or two or swing a trade, perhaps involving one of those draft picks we’ve stockpiled. If only it were that simple.
