• 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...2025Continue with Blue Jackets injury report

• Waddell’s Wishlist: Nikolaj Ehlers is the free agency consolation prize
Leading up to the 2025 NHL Draft on June 27-28, we will explore both trade targets and free agent targets that Don Waddell may want to explore in his quest to improve the Blue Jackets for next season. Yesterday, we covered the top forward on the free agent market, Mitch Marner. While he will be coveted by most teams in the league, not as many can meet his asking price, and he can be picky with ...2025See more articles Nikolaj Ehlers injury update

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...2025Continue with Johnny Gaudreau injury update

• 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.

• 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 availability report
