This NHL off season has been a very unusual one for CBJ fans. First, our assistant coach unceremoniously slips into the head coach’s spot. Then Seth Jones, our superstar defenseman (not a great last year, but good enough) decides he’s out. Then an unbelievable tragedy befell our team. So with all our top picks in this year’s draft, earned after mismanaging...errr...going all in for the playoffs two years ago, even the more casual fan had a reason to tune in with some hope. Then out of the blue, OUR blue, Cam Atkinson, the longest tenured Blue Jacket and not on any radar, gets traded to the Philadelphia Flyers.
One last salute to Cam Atkinson
