You could hear the contract cries last season after Cam Atkinson‘s slow start. Scoring a woeful 6 goals and 7 assists in the first 32 games of the 2017-2018 campaign, Columbus Blue Jackets fans were rightfully disappointed in the recent all-star winger. You didn’t have to venture far in the capital city to find a critic of Atkinson’s 7 year, 35-million dollar deal. If nothing, his play surely wasn’t reassuring skeptics of the mega contract.
Luckily for Columbus Blue Jackets fans, this is not the trending arrow for Atkinson’s game. On the contrary, things are actually looking quite rosy for the speedy forward.
