Cam Atkinson might have been the singular soul that really felt the burden of trying to create offense for the Blue Jackets last season. I mean, everyone as a team, probably. But when you’re paid to snipe and score, you better do it, and Atkinson had troubles all season.
Fresh off a career-year in which he scored 69 points (nice) and 41 goals, his 2019-20 campaign only saw him pot 12 goals in 44 games. While also struggling to just find the net, he also missed a significant time with a pesky ankle injury on separate occasions.
