After the firing of head coach Brad Larsen , the Columbus Blue Jackets held their end of season availability at Nationwide Arena. In all, 11 players spoke about the completed season and what comes next.
Today, we will share meaningful quotes and takeaways from the availability and then add in our analysis. One thing is clear. The Blue Jackets are not happy being on the outside again and are ready to take steps to return to the playoffs soon. That means a big offseason is coming that could see other big changes coming.
We will go in the order the players spoke at the availability. The first one to the podium was Patrik Laine. No, he wasn’t wearing his cool shades from Friday night when he presented a check for $52,000 to the Community Shelter Board.
