The 23-man active roster has been set for the Columbus Blue Jackets, and PD and Seeds are here to break down some of the final decisions.
- Which defensemen were snubbed?
- Is the Patrik Laine-at-center experiment working? Is there room to add another veteran center?
- How soon will Adam Fantilli move up the lineup?
- What is the best way to deploy the roster, as currently constructed?
- OPTIMISTIC SEEDS!
- Compare this roster to last year’s opening game. Are the replacement players better? (Spoiler: Yes)
- Previewing the opening fortnight: how many points will the Jackets earn in the first 5 games?
