Why do forwards find success after leaving Columbus?

Changing latitudes, changing attitudes….may help with your Spring Break decision according to Jimmy Buffett, but does it explain why players seem to experience an offensive resurgence after leaving the Columbus Blue Jackets? Is it more than just a change in scenery?

Last Saturday, we watched Alexander Wennberg complete a hat trick against the Jackets. This was the same player that never seemed to shoot for the last 3 years. He has now 11 goals on the season with Florida. I remember his skill when he first entered the CBJ line-up. That breakout year was 2016-2017, when he registered 59 points in 80 games.
