Damn. I had a feeling something like this would be coming in the next couple seasons for Z but I didn't think it would be this soon.

That made me curious - did we trade guys who probably would have had the assist record? Obviously we traded Nash and he ended his career with 368 assists. Voracek had 583 in his career, the most ever by a Jackets draft pick. Johansen has 376. Wennberg has 259. PLD has 231. Karlsson has 258 - only 1 was with the Ducks before we traded for him. Marchessault has 284 career assists including 0 with Columbus.

Blue Jackets Sunday Gathering: NHL’s melding of Ohio State and Blue Jackets could signal a new day
The Blue Jackets and Ohio State athletics historically haven't had much visible overlap. That divide, real or not, could be changing.

To be fair to Nash, Werenski has had much better teammates around him.Blue Jackets Sunday Gathering: NHL’s melding of Ohio State and Blue Jackets could signal a new day

True. But to be fair, Nash has 129 more games than Z while playing a position that usually produces more assists.
Earlier this year we had a discussion about how much longer Z would have to play at an elite level to be considered the greatest Jacket of all time. I said a couple more years. But all he's done since then is get better and better. He's getting there pretty quick.
one thing this made me realize was how actually close in age Werenski and Makar are. It feels like Zach should be a few years older

Does 7 x $9.5 million get it done with UFA Pionk? Or is he getting closer to $11 mill/year with the cap going up? Also, many have already said it, but Anaheim could have an amazing defense in a few years. I recently picked up Jackson LaCombe in fantasy. 34 points and +9 in 55 games for a kid who just turned 24.
