Despite consistent mediocrity, Columbus has one of the highest attendance rates in the league. The city loves this team to death. Only wish they could contend like the Crew does.

[@MisterCaution]

Not really. Per The Athletic’s attendance tracker, they are consistently average year over year. Which is still impressive-not trying to dog you.

[@nickdenino9196]

@MisterCaution Nationwide Arena is the 19th largest capacity arena in the NHL. This past season, CBJ had their highest attendance rates (average 17,369) since 2003-04. Maybe my comment was misleading, but the point still stands that Columbus loves their team, and they deserve a contender.

[@MisterCaution]

@@nickdenino9196 I don’t deny it. When I said it was still impressive, I meant it. Most teams with that kind of multi-year lull in postseason success have a much larger dip in attendance. Much larger. So it is still very impressive for the situation the Jackets have been in.

Thanks THG literally just went on break at work 😂

[@JustBrowsing777]

I'm curious to see what's going to happen with Nylander now. Was that amazing start the level he can consistently stay around, or is he really more of the end of the season player. The best way to predict the future is often said to be to look at the past, but that change of scenery and proper minutes to play did something to him.

[@habinations]

i would expect him to sign elsewhere for around 1.875 mil aav. if you look at the past ,hes 26 . has 49 points in 121 games . thats third line money for third line stats imo .playing on the first line. you dont want that imo .

[@adamkarren7038]

The problem with the Blue Jackets isn't that they don't have the pieces to win -- this is admittedly possibly a homer take, but I believe their forward group is strong and the defensive and goalie corps should be better than it is --, but that *the pieces are playing worse than the sum of its parts.* There are great players on the roster (again, homer take), but they haven't gelled properly (yet?). That seems like a problem in coaching and roster management. The new GM will have quite a lot to say about roster management, so we'll see what happens there. With respect to coaching, I don't know which is more likely: (1) Pascal Vincent & co. were abruptly hired/elevated in the wake of such a dumb situation that didn't allow them to adequately settle in with the team and prepare for the season, (2) Pascal Vincent was simply overwhelmed by his first year as an NHL Head Coach, or (3) this coaching staff is teaching a philosophy that doesn't work with the talents on the roster. (1) and (2) could be resolved after a normal offseason, and this, unfortunately, will likely not be a normal offseason as a new GM will be hired. Solving (3) is probably done by changing the philosophy of the coaching staff, changing the coaching staff, and/or changing the roster.

[@run2fire]

You are right. No defense. Think they lack strong leadership on and off the ice.

[@cbjm36]

You’re 100% correct. I think Pascal has potential to be a good coach in this league. But it’s not right now and we are not in the position to develop a head coach alongside our developing team.

[@cbjgirl23]

i agree with both you and the commenter you replied to. we need a coach who is Already good at what they do, not someone who is trying to work up to that. problem is i don't think we can attract a big name coach to columbus and that SUCKS! torts and hitchcock were probably the biggest names in coaches we've had

[@whatisabercowich]

He was 13th in the league in 5v5 primary assists this year. He literally has no help around him, particularly with Laine physically and mentally absent. Missing all those breakaways didn't help his stats, though.

[@jimwest7107]

Needs a move before his career is done

[@vibe2143]

I hope Columbus will find a destination for Elvis. You can tell how different the team played this year when he was in net compared to other goalies. He’s too unpredictable both in his reactions and performance. And I don’t see the team taking the next step with him being one of the things holding them back.

[@cbjm36]

CBJ would be smart to just eat Elvis’ contract. I doubt they could offload him without giving away assists. That being said, they have to find a goalie in free agency to go alongside Tarasov, who I think played quite well.

[@MattW16]

​@@cbjm36we don't need to look in free agency. I like Greaves-Tarasov as a tandem for at least next season.

[@onecarolina1543]

​@MattW16 I agree. Greaves played very well every time he got a chance and I feel like he'll only get better.

[@romaliop]

Realistically all Columbus needs is a GM with a vision and enough balls to go for it, as well as a competent coaching staff. Their assets and prospects are easily above average in NHL and all you really need is for someone to develop the prospects and assemble the puzzle from the assets they have, trading away pieces they don't need for others that they do. The question is, will the owner and the owner's representatives approve of increased investments into the management, or will they keep on trying to save a few million per year on this area so that the 80+ million investments they have on players will never amount to anything.

[@williamford9564]

I commented above about the fans. Why should ownership make "increased investments" when the building is full with a BAD team and they are MAKING MONEY?

[@ClashofClansWithKyle]

Wow to have that much cap space amidst all the bad contracts on there is surprising

[@manoflemancha2407]

jarmo didn t have too many bad contracts..Elvis turned into one and Laine intially was cheap..but we will see. Gubransin was a package with johnny, but dud have a strong season

[@ky_muskie]

As a CBJ fan…like I don’t even know man. There’s just no identity with this team and there isn’t really a future plan (thanks Jarmo). We have loads of great prospects, but none of it matters if we can’t even be competitive. All we can hope for is the new GM comes in and cooks. I’d prefer Vincent to be gone, just for a restart, but I am leaning towards him staying. Obviously all depends on the GM hire though.

[@Dratchev241]

the Russian line is hot... when together. Fantilli i think would be great... if he can stay out of IR. I think they would have done much better had injuries not slapped them. but then add Elvis and well now its flip a coin cause he is likely going to cost the team when it counts.

A lot of people misunderstand the attendance numbers. Columbus is growing insanely fast these days and seeing a CBJ game on the cheap is one of the few things to do after football season is over. Also, you can't have it both ways. You can't lambast a fan base for showing up to see a lousy team and also lambast a fan base for being bandwagonners and only showing up when the team is good.

[@biffstrong1079]

Columbus may have had the worst offseason and preseason of any team I can ever remember. Philadelphia and Columbus reworked their entire defense. It worked well in Philadelphia. They went from 20th in shots against the year before 31.5 SAPG to 2nd 27.1 SAPG. Columbus went from 31st 35.4 SAPG to 31st 34.4 SAPG. Yikes. This offseason and preseason will be better if they do nothing.

[@TheDolfanar]

Ok, crazy idea… Goudreau for Huberdeau one-for-one? Because of the length of the Huberdeau contract , the flames would have to retain some salary (2-3m?) but these are two players that have been disasters with their current teams… I just want to see these two turn around their careers… even if it makes the hated Flames stronger… As for Laine, my wet dream since his draft year has been to see him on McDavids right side in Edmonton but I don’t think they need or want him or if the assets are there on either side but I’ve always thought he could be great on that line.

[@markvidmar907]

#CBJ #CBJ It is difficult to predict without a GM. I'd like to see them trade Elvis, I think it would be good for both parties. I hope they make a deal with Texier, Marchenko, Sillinger, Chinakov and Neylander, these guys could be a solid core forwards and centers. At times they have been very competitive, with the right pieces they could push for the playoffs. I am uncertain about Pascal VIncent, he hasnt shown alot, but he had to step in late after the Babcock fiasco so he might have better success if he was the coach from the beginning of the year. We shall see, thanks for your channel Shannon, always like to hear your opinion.

[@maxrcrypto]

They are just going to have to wait for the kids to impove

[@JPMadden]

Early in the season, I kept hearing talk in hockey media about how Columbus had so many defensemen that they would simply have to trade at least one of them, for some reason never specified (it wasn't the salary cap). That seemed strange to me for a rebuilding team. Then later in the season, the talk was about how terrible their team defense was. I guess I was right to doubt the experts on this matter.

[@TylerMorganShow]

Babcock is giggling

[@The_Architekt]

The logo looks like it should be for a team named the silver stars or the shooting stars not the blue jackets

[@jasonhaettich2610]

Jiricek isn't even the best Dman on the team when he's in Cleveland. Sure, he seems to show up on the score sheet, but that doesn't forgive the turnovers and lack of hustle that we see all the time.

Players like Laine kind of define their identity.

[@jamesgarvin29]

[@Uroste]

Wishing to see Laine back...

[@kimepp2216]

It goes to show how hard predicting player performance is. On paper Laine and Gaudreau should be quite good together. Sadly not so good on the ice. 40 more goals from them and they would have been in the hunt for a wildcard spot. All a gm can do is make predictions and keep changing pieces until he gets a good combo or he is fired.

[@alexevanoski4588]

They are in a rebuild. They just believed it would be over quicker than it’s going foolishly. They need to stick to it for another year or two. The prospects are coming.

[@BurnedRetinas]

I think the identity this team needs starts with getting Elvis Merzlinkins off the team. I rooted for him to bounce back, but his overly skittish net play and ego were severe detriments. I think there's promise for Vincent as a HC, the players never quit on him and he can iron out some of his mistakes. Columbus has a lot of ground to make up to catch up with the other teams that are that much better. Might be a hot take, but the Blue Jackets fans need to let go of that sweep of the Lightning; it's served as a catalyst for everything that's gone wrong with the organization since of proving how not ready they really were for "all in" moves.

[@nyern]

Columbus can only draft 3rd if PHI wins the first drawing and CBJ wins the second, because SJS and PHI will be locked 1 and 2

[@tylerwintrow4372]

The exact moment that defines how CBJ has been the last few years and encompass the entire definition of the team was when Pierre Luc Dubois skated that half assed shift and got torned into by torts. PLD didn't give a shit and thats how the management and players have been since then, just not caring at all.

[@ShaunAnderson_Sauce]

How can you view LTIR cap circumvention the same as getting a team to take on a portion of a players salary? To get a team to take salary you have to give up an asset...

[@TheHockeyGuy]

Your roster is still above the cap, but you laundered that contract through a third party for a mid-round pick. Retained salary does the same thing, just without needing LTIR. Half the teams used LTIR to get under the cap and many of them also used three way trades to artificially reduce the cap hit for a player on their roster.

[@ShaunAnderson_Sauce]

@@TheHockeyGuy again you said there was no difference. I just showed you how there is in fact a big difference. You can dismiss it all you want but fact remains it is not the same as using LTIR.

@@TheHockeyGuy I just think the league needs to change the rules I don't blame the teams operating in the bounds of the current system.

[@TheHockeyGuy]

No, there isn't a difference in my eyes. A guy has a 9 million dollar cap hit. A team retains 50% and then a third party retains another 50%. That means the team getting that player has them at a cap hit of roughly 2 million when his actual cap hit is miles above that. It's the same thing. If one is cap circumvention, so is the other.

[@gordonmacdowell8117]

Columbus feels like a team that was cobbled together by making deals on a console game. It's a Frankenstein's monster of a team that doesn't seem to fit together. Of course they were Babcocked to begin the season so they might be better next season, maybe. No GM in their right mind will take Elvis with that contract...OK.

The refrain every season now is, "We've got a lot of interesting potential, we might be good in a couple of years!" It's pretty obvious that that's the best case scenario at the moment. Just waiting and hoping all these guys develop. A lot of spare parts got scrapped this season, much to the delight of quite a few people. Elvis is probably getting kicked out, and they will keep moving on from the older guys who don't fit the window... maybe Texier, Bean, Laine too. Provorov can be gone next season and then we're waiting for defense and center depth to show up. Because you were never winning with that defense... there was no compliment to the weaknesses of Provorov and Severson, and the triple-headed monster of Peeke, Bean, and Boqvist weren't it. Elvis - probably gone, so maybe Tarasov and Jet are your tandem next season, as long as Tarasov doesn't get hit by the Nationwide injury hex again. No playoff team would have Boone Jenner as a 1st line center playing 22 minutes a game, but they didn't want to hear trade proposals, so that's fun for us. The AHL affiliate rebranded and it went well - this would be a great time to rebrand. Plenty of people want the canon to be the primary logo at the very least. Who knows about the coach and GM. Keep Backstrom, maybe give Vincent another season, clear out much of the rest of the house. Who knows.
