• Are the Blue Jackets better or worse today?
Now that we are almost a week removed from the start of NHL free agency and much of the off-season business has been addressed, it’s time to look at where things stand and ask: are the Columbus Blue Jackets better or worse now than they were over the last season? A few caveats: of course, this is just looking at things on paper. We can’t project how healthy the team may be (hopeful...2025See also Blue Jackets

Well, we’re finally here: the last series of the 2024-25 NHL season.

• 2024-25 Player Review: JVR was an unexpected VIP for the CBJ
In early fall, Don Waddell found himself in desperate need of a forward. There was not only the tragic passing of Johnny Gaudreau, but also the trade of Patrik Laine a week before, and news that Justin Danforth’s recovery from off-season wrist surgery would keep him out for the duration of preseason, and possibly the start of the regular season. There were certainly prospects who could conte...2025See more articles Johnny Gaudreau injury status

• 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 ...2025Click for news about Justin Danforth injuries

• 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...2025Read about Dmitri Voronkov injury update
