Well that answers the goaltending question for Columbus going forwards. The Blue Jackets have sent RFA Daniil Tarasov to the Florida Panthers for a late round pick, but the most important thing here is that it has freed up valuable blue paint space for Jet Greaves to be one of the CBJ's goalies next season. We unpack that, plus the trade itself! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rugiet Head t...

It's about 36 hours until the NHL draft, and the Blue Jackets are still in possession of both of their first round picks. We break down Don Waddell's pre draft presser, talk about some UFA non-updates, and why the JJ Peterka trade would never have been realistic for Columbus.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

We're having some fun today by previewing players that will be available for the Blue Jackets at 20, but may not be picked by them, as we look at Cameron Schmidt and Blake Fiddler, before today's honourable mention, who definitely won't be there when the CBJ pick at 14, but would be so much fun to watch play in Union Blue: Victor Eklund!

Noah Dobson is available for trade for some reason, and the Blue Jackets should jump on it immediately. We look at how good a fit he would be for the CBJ, what a trade could cost the Blue Jackets, and what their top 4 would look like if they signed him. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Blue Jackets are rumoured to be eyeing a goalie at 20th overall, and it's likely to be Joshua Ravensbergen. We talk about the pros and cons of drafting a goalie that high, before looking at how his development path could pan out. We also look at Cameron Reid, a smaller two way D that could be available at 20, as well as an honourable mention of Radim Mrtka, my favourite D in the draft, who wil...

Thatcher Demko is one of the better goalies in the league when he's healthy, but there's no guarantee that he will be 100% going forward. It's a high risk-high reward situation for the Blue Jackets if they trade for him, but there could be something there. We look at his history, whether the risks outweigh the rewards, and what a trade could look like for the CBJ! Support Us By Supporting Our Spon...

It's draft week, so lets take a look at who the Blue Jackets could be drafting with their two first round picks on Friday! Today we're looking at Carter Bear, a really annoying C/LW with top 6 potential who is a good all rounder but doesn't necessarily excel at one thing, and Lynden Lakovic, a shockingly good skater who could be the next Tage Thompson.

Reports are out that Rasmus Andersson is out his way out of Calgary, and the Blue Jackets are likely looking for a Provorov replacement. However, Rasmus Andersson is a fairly good offensive defenceman, and not great in his own zone. Today we look at how the Blue Jackets could make this work, what a potential trade could look like, and whether or not this could even be an option for Don Waddell. Su...

Welcome to the NHL Squad Show! Today our hosts Gil Martin (Locked On Islanders), Seth Toupal (Locked On Wild), David Morassutti (Locked On Leafs) and Zach Martin (Locked On Hurricanes) are here to talk about why the playoffs are lasting so long, how to fix that, whether the NHL will finally close the LTIR loophole some teams have been using, and what to make of the early Olympics roster announceme...

Cole Sillinger has played almost 300 games NHL, all before turning 23. Is he part of the core going forward, like Fantilli, Marchenko and Johnson, or could he be used as part of a trade to upgrade the top 6? We discuss on today's show.

James van Riemsdyk was a shockingly good option for the Blue Jackets this year, should they reward him for good play with another contract? We talk about the pros, the cons, and what that contract could look like, as well as updates on a new contract for Dante Fabbro, Elvis Merzlikins being named to Team Latvia for the Olympics, and Zach Werenski NOT being named to Team USA (yet)!

Sam Bennett  is probably about to win a Conn Smythe trophy, and might be a UFA in two weeks time. Should the Blue Jackets sign him? We talk about what he brings to the table, his crazy postseason numbers this year, and whether it's the right time for the Blue Jackets to add a playoffs only guy to their roster. We also look at another Panthers UFA who might bring the same things, but for much less...

Dylan Tyrer is back today and we're talking all about the future of this team again! Today we look at Dmitri Voronkov's solid sophomore season, before pivoting to the Cleveland Monsters to see if Luca Del Bel Belluz and Jet Greaves are part of the future of this team, then Dylan's favourite prospects that aren't in the organisation yet, and we finish off talking about what they should do with thei...

The Blue Jackets had a number of breakout players this season, like Adam Fantilli, Kent Johnson and Kirill Marchenko.

Dmitri Voronkov trailed only Kirill Marchenko, Adam Fantilli and Kent Johnson in goalscoring this season, proving that he could very well be a huge part of this team going forward. We talk about the surprise breakout season by the big Russian, how he can keep it going, what his future on the team could be, and what his new contract is going to look like!

There are new reports out of Russia that the Blue Jackets and Daniil Tarasov are in conversations about a new contract. This is a terrible idea.

Things seem to be going not great for the Sabres organisation, and there could be a handful of players who want to move on this summer. Who should the Blue Jackets target, whether it be a trade or an offersheet? We look at Alex Tuch, JJ Peterka, Bo Byram, Owen Power and Devon Levi all as potential future Blue Jackets, and try to work out who would fit in the best if they were acquired this summer!...

The Blue Jackets need a shake-up on D, but they have two key UFAs. If only one of them can stay, which one should it be? We look at the pros and cons of both Dante Fabbro and Ivan Provorov, before deciding which one we would keep and which one we would send to the FA market! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Blue Jackets need to sign at least one defenceman. Could it be Aaron Ekblad, who looks like he's on the way out of Florida thanks to their trading for Seth Jones? We look at where he would fit into the lineup, how much money he could command in free agency, whether he would be a suitable option for Columbus, or whether we should just try to re-sign Dante Fabbro for less money and term!
