Artemi Panarin was undoubtedly the Columbus Blue Jackets MVP for the 2017-2018 season. He set a franchise record for points with 82 and was a constant scoring threat that the Jackets haven’t had since Rick Nash.
Will Panarin repeat his performance this year and be the most valuable Jacket? If he stays the whole season, it’s possible. But look for the MVP to come from the opposite wing on the top line this year.
Cam Atkinson is primed to have his best season yet after a down-and-up season last year. And Cam’s best season would be MVP worthy.
