In this episode, we discuss the WNCI Summer Classic, a charity softball game featuring some of Columbus’ finest stars, including, but not limited to, Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun of Twenty One Pilots, Walk the Moon, Ryan Cabrera, and most importantly, Columbus Blue Jackets Jack Roslovic and Oliver Bjorkstrand, and CBJ Alum, Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre. We talk about the game, and Jack Roslovic’s walk off homerun that won the game – his third of the night! Last week, Zach Werenski interrupted the show by signing an extension to remain a Columbus Blue Jacket for the next seven years – this week, we break down the signing and challenge the notion that the Blue Jackets overpaid. Former Blue Jackets bench boss, John Tortorella, joined the ESPN crew of analysts for its hockey coverage this coming season, and let’s just say that we’re in love with this. We talk about the joy of potentially hearing Torts bash the CBJ on live television, but more importantly, what such a hire and the broadcast deal with ESPN means for the city of Columbus and the team. Finally, we discuss Pierre-Luc Dubois’ number change to honor his former teammate and late Blue Jackets Goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks.

In this episode, we discuss the Columbus Blue Jackets’ week from hell! No one was safe as players were traded, signed, re-signed, and drafted. We discuss the departure of Seth Jones to the Chicago Blackhawks, the addition of Adam Boqvist, first-round draft picks Kent Johnson, Cole Sillinger, and Corson Ceuelmans. We pay homage to Cam Atkinson, long-time Columbus Blue Jacket and community leader, as he is traded to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Jakub Voracek. You won’t want to miss Laura’s heartfelt goodbye to Cam! Not every week are we able to break some news on the podcast, but Zach Werenski signed a 6-year contract extension at $9.583M AAV – could the $83,000 be shade? Zach isn’t the only one signing a contract offered by the Columbus Blue Jackets! Boone Jenner, Alex Texier, and Eric Robinson agreed to contract extensions, and Sean Kuraly and Gavin Bayreuther (wait, what?!) sign with the team as UFAs.
