Welcome to Jackets 20, a series which celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Columbus Blue Jackets by profiling 20 of the most important players from the first two decades. Today, we remember one of the first notable players and captains in franchise history, Ray Whitney.
I talked about Jody Shelley when I did my first Jackets 20 post a few weeks ago. Aside from Shelley, Geoff Sanderson and Ray Whitney were the other two players my mind often gravitated towards, specifically as it pertains to the first notable players the team had in franchise history.
