Since the season ended, much discussion here in the comment section and on Twitter is how the Columbus Blue Jackets can add another player or two to allow this roster to take the next step. Anyone picked in this year’s draft won’t contribute this season. There is no prospect waiting to break through - at least, not any that didn’t already play in this postseason. The free agent market lacks many big name forwards outside of Taylor Hall. Any UFA would be into their late 20s already and would take up a lot of cap space that the Jackets won’t have after signing their restricted free agents.
