We’re now in a month in which games will be played by players in Columbus Blue Jackets sweaters. Not real games, but after the long summer we’ll take what we can get, right?
Old faces, new numbers
The Jackets announced the uniform numbers for new players, and some new numbers for existing players. I ran some calculations and here’s what I think they might mean:
Vladislav Gavrikov, switching from 44 to 4: He divided his number by 11, so I predict that he’ll score 11 goals. Not only would it be a new career high, it would almost double his career total (12).
