Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction: Improvement

There was a high amount of buzz around the Columbus Blue Jackets heading into the 2015-2016 season, but this buzz was shattered early and lead to a flurry of changes.

In Season Major Changes

All of this buzz was gone early after losing their first eight games of the season. This early game skid led to the firing of head coach Todd Richards. Richards was replaced by fiery coach John Tortorella.

Along with the addition of Tortorella the Blue Jackets traded center Ryan Johansen to the Nashville Predators for defenseman Seth Jones.
