Columbus Blue Jackets ICYMI – Ryan Johansen and Road Games
Good morning, Columbus Blue Jackets fans! Welcome to the ICYMI post on Union and Blue, a daily post containing anything CBJ-related that you or we may have missed the day before. Enjoy and have a great day!
Carson Meyer’s Draft Profile
"I would look for Meyer to take a big step forward in year two in college. He scored 32 goals in 52 games in the USHL just a season before joining Miami."
CBJ Greatest Players: #14 - David Savard
"Alongside Jack Johnson, Savard was a terror for opposing teams last season. Whenever he was on the ice in 2016-2017, teams had a real hard time putting the puck in the net, evident by his +33 plus-minus (3rd in the NHL)."
Five Road Games CBJ Fans Should Attend
"Vegas is unlike any hockey market when it comes to things to do outside of catching a game. Las Vegas is perfect for Jackets fans to hit the town before and after the game. Vegas has casinos galore along with other adventure with fans."
Nashville Predators Sign Ryan Johansen to Extension
"Nashville had to pay a very steep price to get Johansen, and rightfully so. However, he has been worth it for them. For the first time in franchise history, the Predators have a top center who can take on tough competition and come out on top."
No longer a surprise Markus Nutivaara can elevate Blue Jackets attack
"The question was something to the effect of “what do you think of this guy?” and formulated after watching him in practice, then a game, and then again after Zach Werenski was injured and sat out the rest of the week. Markus Nutivaara, a seventh-round pick of the Blue Jackets in 2015, was getting a prime opportunity to anchor the rookie team’s defense in a tournament they’d come to dominate."
Hartnett: Ranking The NHL’s Coaches
"The new Torts has embraced change, adapted to playing more uptempo and dialed back his former overly aggressive, over-coaching persona."
Starting Six: Columbus Blue Jackets All-Time Lineup
"Who is the Columbus Blue Jackets all-time lineup? With such a small sample size to choose from this makes some choices easy, like Rick Nash. The sample size also makes for some debates for players like Cam Atkinson or David Vyborny."
