As 2021 winds down, the close of our Jackets 20 celebration looms near. To date, we’ve profiled 18 of the best and most influential Blue Jackets in club history, which you can read here. That leaves three spots up for grabs, and this season, Jakub Voracek has made a massive push for consideration.
Originally drafted 7th overall in 2007, Voracek had a stat line of 39-95-134 in his first stint in Columbus from 2008 to 2011. That includes 38 points during the magical 2008-09 season, the first in Columbus to feature postseason hockey, fourth best on the team.
