The Numbers: Of Monsters & Jackets
It's an exciting time for the Blue Jackets franchise, with a strong finish to the season and several young players stepping into key roles down the stretch.
The present is strong and the future is bright, and great news was announced today about that future.
If you haven't already heard, the Blue Jackets and Lake Erie Monsters (Cleveland) have agreed on a multi-year AHL affiliation agreement that begins with the 2015-16 season. That means the Jackets' top professional prospects (NHL/AHL) will all be playing in the state of Ohio for the foreseeable future. Pretty exciting stuff.
