As part of the our SBNation 2016 NHL season preview, we put our heads together here at The Cannon to come up with three major questions facing this team as they prepare for the 2016-2017 season. See what you think of our choices, and let us know how you’d answer them!
1: Will a full training camp allow John Tortorella to get more out of this club?
Landing in Columbus in the aftermath of Todd Richards’ disastrous final month as the head coach of the Blue Jackets last October, Torts was asked to pick up a team that had nothing to play for, managing to scrape together 34 wins, 33 losses, and 8 OT/Shootout losses while losing his team’s top center and trying to evaluate how much of roster might be salvageable.
