As the great Chubby Checker might say “It’s time to rank again/like we did last summer/come on let’s rank again/like we did last year.”
That’s right, it’s the off-season tradition of ranking the top players in the Blue Jackets organization who will still be under the age of 25 as of opening day. You can click here to revisit the coverage from last year’s list. Don’t pay attention to #4! Or the player who we acquired after the vote who I thought should be somewhere in the teens!
There hasn’t been quite as much turnover as last season, but still some changes:
Aged out:
#2 Kirill Marchenko
#9 Dmitri Voronkov
No longer in the organization:
#4 David Jiricek
#11 Gavin Brindley
#22 Samuel Knazko
But there are eight new names in between trades, UFA signings, and 2025 draft picks.
