Columbus Blue Jackets Changed Forever Thanks to John Tortorella

The Hockey Writers — Dateline Oct 21, 2015. The Columbus Blue Jackets were in an awful place. The 2015-16 season quickly went off the rails thanks to an 0-7-0 start. Confidence was gone. The team had nothing to lean on. It was a dark place for a team that had some hope for the season.

The Hockey Writers — It is still true. The Columbus Blue Jackets did in fact sign Johnny Gaudreau this offseason to a seven-year deal. It is not a dream. Soon, he will take the ice at Nationwide Arena. When the news broke, most everyone in the hockey world was stunned. "Why Columbus" seemed to be a trending question.

Blue Jackets News & Rumors: Neal, National TV, Numbers & More

Yardbarker — It's an interesting decision to have Neal in camp but you can see why it makes sense. If things don't work the Blue Jackets can simply release him. If he does perform though, he would get a minimum contract and could be an interesting player early in the season.
