NEW: Once again, Don Waddell worked at his own pace and went down to the wire. And once again, he did an incredible job making the most out of a tough situation. Our grade of the Matthew Knies trade.

NEWS: I’m thrilled to join the Columbus Blue Jackets as their new talent/producer! I’m so excited to create content that connects the Fifth Line with the players and brings the culture of this organization to life. I can’t wait to get started! @BlueJacketsNHL

[Union and Blue @UnionAndBlue]

NEW: The Blue Jackets will play without a captain this season. It's risky, but it kinda makes sense.

[Columbus Blue Jackets @BlueJacketsNHL]

We will utilize rotating alternate captains throughout the 2026-27 season.

Zach Werenski, who has served as an alternate captain since 2021, will continue in that role.  Our other two alternate captains will rotate among several players throughout the season.  In October, Charlie Coyle & Mathieu Olivier will be the alternate captains at home, while Sean Monahan and Cole Sillinger will wear the “A” on the road.

[Union and Blue @UnionAndBlue]

@BlueJacketStats @CBUSsportsLocal @1stOhioBattery Congrats Ed!

[Union and Blue @UnionAndBlue]

NEW: Steven Lorentz flies under the radar in the Matthew Knies deal, but he could be valuable if injuries mount for the Blue Jackets.

New #CBJ F Matthew Knies on settling in to his new situation and surroundings in Columbus.

[Union and Blue @UnionAndBlue]

@F1RETHECANNON The whole purpose of the letter may shock some people: It's so you can talk to the refs. That's it. That's why they exist.

The best NHL teams are led exactly in the way Bowness is asking his team to be led. By committee, holding one another accountable.

[Union and Blue @UnionAndBlue]

Cole Sillinger will get a letter to start the year (on the road).

Not really surprised by any of this. #CBJ

A direct quote here from Adam Fantilli on Kirill Marchenko:

“As much as I love playing with him, super smart, skilled, fun guy... but we want guys that want to play for the Jackets and want to win here, and it sucks that it wasn’t him.” #CBJ
