While the Michigan product has yet to play a meaningful game, his name continues to create a buzz with the Columbus Blue Jackets. This continues as he has shown many great flashes in the preseason. The Blue Jacket’s defense is shored up with Zach Werenski’s addition to the line up.
Werenski is a very versatile defenseman. On offense, he has a heavy shot that always seems to get through which makes him a valuable piece on the power play. Coach Tortorella sees his worth letting him quarterback the power play with four forwards while the other unit has two defensemen and two forwards.
