The Columbus Blue Jackets and general manager Jarmo Kekalainen have been getting quite a bit of negativity around the league due to their recent performances since the trade deadline. However, it still has only been five games since the deadline.
The Jackets haven’t looked great, everyone will agree with that, however but when a team makes wholesale changes at the deadline it will take a few games for everything to mesh together. The biggest issue is currently that the team seemingly doesn’t have time to do so, as a result of the tight playoff race in the east.
