With the offseason drawing to a close, the Ice Haus has begun to fill with current Blue Jackets players and prospects, tuning up and getting themselves ready for the official start of training camp.
On the one hand, there's a good chunk of the roster that will be written on the lineup card in pen before a single blade touches the ice, and that means there will be a lot of continuity from the club that finished last season so strongly. On the other, it means that the few spots that are available are going to be hotly contested, and likely to end in a promising propsect (or perhaps even a former roster player) starting his season in Lake Erie.
