CBJ Head Coach Brad Larsen on Patrik Laine: “We are going to surround him with the best players possible...we are not going to make him something he’s not”

Better late than never, I suppose. Sticking with the Columbus theme, they made some front office personnel choices too.

The Blue Jackets have made a few off-ice changes:

Rick Nash promoted to Dir of Player Dev
Josef Boumedienne promoted to Dir of Pro Scouting
Derek Dorsett & Mark Letestu named development coaches
Brad Thiessen replaces Jim Corsi as goaltending dev coach
Nelson Ayotte has retired— David Pagnotta (@TheFourthPeriod) June 16, 2021
