Locked On Blue Jackets - Daily Podcast On The Columbus Blue Jackets

There is always roster turnover in the summer, and the Blue Jackets won't likely look as different this October as they did last fall, but GM Don Waddell wants to fine tune the roster and fill some holes. His starting place should be in the AHL, as Jet Greaves and Denton Mateychuk look to be locks on the opening night roster, but could players like Luca Del Bel Belluz, Mikael Pyyhtia and James Mal...

The Cleveland Monsters dispatched the Toronto Marlies in 2 games with a certain amount of ease, thanks to huge performances from Jet Greaves, Denton Mateychuk and Madison Bowey. We talk about how great it is to get guys like 73 and 17 back from the Blue Jackets, and then take a look ahead at the Laval Rocket, and whether they're beatable in a 5 game series. Spoiler: I think so! Support Us By Suppo...

A lot has been said about goaltending not being good enough for the Blue Jackets this year, but not enough is being said about the miserable special teams. The power play improved but is still below average, and the penalty kill was basically stagnant. We look at what went wrong, how to improve them, and, of course, touch on goaltending in today's episode. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Mo...

It seems fair to say that the Blue Jackets were miserable to watch last season. This season, though they didn't make the playoffs, no one expected them to, and they responded to an offseason tragedy by improving in basically every metric of the game, as well as having several players with career high seasons, including Zach Werenski's record breaking season, and Kirill Marchenko's almost 40 point...

The Blue Jackets have two first round picks in the upcoming draft, what are some players they could draft, if they kepe both picks?

The Blue Jackets goaltending will look very different next year, but one thing we know is that Jet Greaves will probably be there. But who will his partner be? Will it be Elvis Merzlikins as a backup, will the team go out and get a veteran to back Greaves up, or will they go out and get a young potential starting goalie for a 1A/1B situation? We discuss all these options and more on today's show!...
