Skill. Any and all positions. There are plenty of gritty checkers on this team. They need players who can finish some of their chances and can create chances for others. At least one scoring center, maybe another wing who can actually hit the net, and a hopefully a good two-way d-man (possibly to replace either Hejda or Hainsey, who are both UFA's).
The third leading point scorer has 32 points. The 3rd leading goal scorer has 14.
The fact this outfit was even in consideration for the playoffs considering the anemic state of the offense is a credit to Leclaire's play and Hitchcock's system. On the other hand, a certain amount of blame for the offensive woes surely lies with Hitchcock's somewhat buttoned-down plan. How much blame, I really don't know, but I can live with a low-scoring team, as long as it isn't THIS low-scoring.
Maybe we can see a healthy season out of Modin. That would certainly help in the scoring department.

Michael Arace commentary: Vyborny deserves better than quiet exit
Wednesday, April 2, 2008 3:15 AM
By michael arace
The Blue Jackets won't come out and say they no longer want David Vyborny, because that would be in poor taste. Vyborny won't comment, because he can't discern, with surety, what is next for him.
It's a familiar game played at this time of the year. Vyborny's run in Columbus is over, but nobody can give him a gold watch or a silver stick.
His career here will end quietly, which fits his demeanor, but makes no sense by any other measure.

Michael Arace commentary: Hitchcock feels lost without playoffs

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Blue Jackets coach Ken Hitchcock stayed busy this week, for the sake of his sanity. He had exit interviews and coaches meetings. He had prep work for Team Canada, which he will direct in the upcoming world championship. Each day, he has embraced this work. And each day, when he finished, he found himself in his white SUV, driving around Columbus, with nothing on the radio and no destination in mind. He was lost.

NHL
Jackets' lore isn't exactly a lure
Team ready to add free agents, but it may be a challenge
Sunday, April 20, 2008 3:42 AM
By Aaron Portzline
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
General manager Scott Howson says the team "has a lot to offer."
The Blue Jackets will have up to $20 million to spend on roster improvements this summer, along with a directive from ownership to get better quickly.
Now comes the potentially hard part -- persuading free agents to take the Blue Jackets' money, to sign a long-term contract with a club that outsiders view as the Tampa Bay Rays of hockey.
The signing period opens July 1. The number of free agents the Jackets will look to sign depends on what trades they can make at the draft in late June and whether prospects Derick Brassard and Jakub Voracek are deemed ready for the NHL. It could be from two to five players.
