2011-12 Record: 29-46-7 (65 points)
missed the playoffs
Captain: TBD
The story of the 2011-12 Blue Jackets was one of horror, as the acquisitions of James Wisniewski and Jeff Carter did not pan out, and Carter was shipped out midseason for Jack Johnson. While Johnson has firmly put himself in position to lead the team this coming season, Carter would rediscover happiness on the way to a Stanley Cup with Los Angeles. The Rick Nash trade rumors also dogged the team late in the season, and he eventually got sent to the Rangers in the off-season. Brandon Dubinsky and Artem Anisimov will be looking to establish themselves in Columbus after being the return in the Nash trade. Offense was a major issue last season, and it doesn't look like it will change. Their defense, namely goal, was also terrible, and the Blue Jackets will likely ask Sergei Bobrovsky to be their long-term answer in goal. The blue line is now the team's strength, with Johnson leading the way and Ryan Murray likely figuring into the teams plans soon.
Prediction: 15th in the West
Band: ReVamp
ReVamp is the project of ex-After Forever vocalist Floor Jansen, who made her mark with the band. ReVamp is a different band looking to establish an identity all their own. The Blue Jackets are looking to do the same after their long time face of the franchise was traded.
