We've been decent this year...
As of at least a few days ago he was also leading the league in TOI. He's been superman for us this year.
Yeah, he's having a killer year. Had a quiet 5 point game from a dman just a few games ago - if this guy wasn't on Columbus, he'd be getting a ton of coverage.
Monahan and Werenski should be in for Hart consideration or the coach, just because everyone predicted they continued to be a bottom 5 and so far is a pleasant surprise
Criminally underrated
Should definitely be in the convo. There are about 3 other defenseman who have legitimately been playing better with significantly less support than Makar despite his current lead in scoring mostly feeding off of MacKinnon and Rantanen on the PP.

If we finish like 5 points or so out of WC2 position Evason easily wins Jack Adams award. If CBJ make it to a WC spot, which isn't likely but not out of the question at this point its a lock.
I am telling you not as a homer coping but if you want a long shot bet that can pay off I would put a small amount of money down on CBJ making the playoffs because there's something here right now and nobody is noticing.
Z has been quietly elite for awhile but this year he’s an absolute animal. He’s so dangerous offensively and solid defensively. Also, Fabbro as his partner has been a revelation.
The most notable thing about his point totals is that he only has 8 PP points. He’s so good 5v5.

Ok, that’s impressive. On that team? +9? 8 goals? 26 minutes? Dude is making ‘em as relevant as he can.

There was a time I thought Provorov would be a better D-man, what a joke, Werenski is an absolute beast.
He’s having a great year, but as long as makar and Hughes are healthy, he’s never winning a Norris.
Hated his game for USA this summer and we don’t need another scoring D with Fox & Hughes, but Werenski has basically forced Team USA’s hand. I think he has taken Sanderson’s spot.

“imagine if he was on a decent team”
this whole narrative of sh!tt!ng on the jackets because you know nothing about them/it has traditionally been the thing to do is tiring.
educate yourself. we are a decent team this year.
Werenski is helping to drag the Blue Jackets to respectability (now 19th in the league), probably just shy of the range where candidates can start earning Norris consideration. If they rise much higher than their current position in the standings, which is looking likely, he will be a Norris finalist. Columbus is quietly a good/great story this season and they should start getting more credit the rest of the way. Werenski is going to receive a lot of plaudits for their success.

FYI Evason was interviewed by Ottawa and was said to be interested in the job
They picked Travis Green….

In a world that doesn't have Hughes or Makar he'd be in the discussion
As a Canucks fan, there's zero reason to exclude somebody from the discussion due to lack of previous success. It's an old boys club standard that needs to die. If he's the best, he's the best.

It's not because of a lack of previous success, it's because Hughes and Makar are much better.
