Preview: In the offseason Columbus superstar Rick Nash signed a major 9-year contract with the Blue Jackets that shows his optimism about this team’s future. Clearly he wouldn’t have signed such a deal if he expected this team to be a floundering 7th or 8th place team forever, however it’s not likely this team will turn overnight, or even in one season.Sports Betting at the Sportsbook

In my opinion the Blue Jackets success last year came from the unexpected debut of rookie goaltender Steve Mason. The offseason moves (or lack thereof) of this team show that they are putting far too much faith in a goaltender who likely will crack under the expectations the same way Carey Price has in Montreal.

With no significant movement in the offseason and too much pressure on two individual players, this team will probably disappoint, and begin a fight for that last playoff spot in the middle of January.
