Hockey season is finally upon us, with the Blue Jackets holding their first press conference of the season today. With the media gathering, naturally we got leaked images of their roster for training camp this week. A few things stood out to us right away.
The roster features 56 players, breaking down to 30 forwards, 20 defensemen, and 6 goaltenders. For the first time in a long time, it's pretty easy to whittle this whole thing right down to about 22 skaters, which would leave one spot for someone on the fringe to secure.
Nothing is set in stone, however.
