The Columbus Blue Jackets will have the same personnel on defense that they did last season. Their top-4 was pretty well locked in at the end of the year, but it's possible that things could shift around early next season. Here's an alternate take on how the pairings could come together.
Starting with the top pairing, it's hard to see anything changing. Zach Werenski and Dante Fabbro fit together extremely well. Once Fabbro was claimed off of waivers, Werenski's game opened up like never before; resulting in him finishing second in Norris Trophy voting for best defenseman in the NHL.
