Who would have thought that the second round pick we are going to receive might end up being insufficient compensation for a potential Jack Adams winning coach?!?! That’s kinda how it looks today. The Jackets have been gangbusters this year, and Torts has led the charge!
The return to form of Sergei Bobrovsky, along with a great young defensive core has resulted in a record of 19-5-4. Add to that a core of solid, hardworking forwards who aren’t ‘elite’, and you have one heck of a system driven team!
In the 2000 expansion draft, the Blue Jackets selected a goaltender with their first pick.
