  • • 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
  • • 2024-25 Player Review: Dante Fabbro went from the waiver wire to the first pair
    In early November, the Columbus Blue Jackets embarked on their first West Coast road trip of the season, and dropped all three games in California (two in regulation). While out there, they placed a waiver claim on Nashville Predators defenseman Dante Fabbro. He joined the team in Seattle and made his debut there, and suddenly became the partner for Zach Werenski as Z put together the best season ...2025

  • • 2024-25 Player Review: Luke Kunin, not the ideal acquisition
    Just before the trade deadline the Blue Jackets sent a fourth round pick to San Jose to acquire Luke Kunin on an expiring deal. Kunin had previously played under Evason when he was an assistant coach at Minnesota and was prized by Waddell at the time for his versatility when the main squad was rather banged up. Here’s Waddell’s quote on the acquisition: “Luke is a versatile fo...2025
  • • 2024-25 Player Review: Dmitri Voronkov is Big Boss
    Voronkov was a revelation when he came over from Russia two years ago. Sold to us as a physically imposing bottom 6 guy with some skill he has rapidly become a top line caliber player. “Voro” has surprisingly soft hands and is a tremendous net front player. He’s great at getting pucks off the wall and to his teammates in scoring chances and is a menace on the forecheck, deftly sw...2025

  • • 2024-25 Player Review: Ivan Provorov was a steady presence
    In his second year with the Columbus Blue Jackets, Ivan Provorov continued to play a major role on the blue line. He skated in all 82 games again (fun fact: in 9 NHL seasons, Provorov has missed just 3 games. He has played the maximum number of games 8 times) and he trailed only Zach Werenski in minutes per game by defensemen. In addition to a second pair role at even strength, he was frequently o...2025
  • • 2024-25 Player Review: Zach Werenski had a Norris-caliber season
    One can speculate that Zach Werenski will be exactly Nathan MacKinnon away from winning the Norris Trophy. Cale Makar will likely end up with the honors, the result of being on a team with a superstar and a better power play. No disrespect to Makar, but what Werenski did on a worse team in even worse circumstances not only puts him in the argument for best defenseman, but also most valuable player...2025

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

    I was surprised to see that Harris played 33 games this season. It seems like he played less than that. He was mainly unnoticeable when in the lineup. However, when he was noticed, it was often for the wrong reasons. The majority of the pair combinations with Harris were a disaster. At 5v5, when playing with Jack Johnson, Werenski, Severson, or Provorov, his CF% was below 40. The only deployable p...2025

It’s the last year of that contract, and he was a serviceable fourth line center for all 82 games. Coach Dean Evason and his teammates speak highly of his leadership qualities, but he didn’t do much to impress me, and by season’s end ...2025

By the end of the season, he was the No. 2 Defenseman behind Zach Werenski, and even played some with Z on the top pair.
