Blue Jackets Build Without Offer Sheets

The Blue Jackets are focused on building through trades and free agency, not offer sheets, as GM Don Waddell confirms they lack draft capital and are already cap-strapped. With key moves like signing Valeri Nichushkin already on the books, they’re prioritizing roster upgrades—especially for goalie and defense—by trading existing players. The July free agency window is driving up trade values, and while their draft strategy prioritizes best available talent, positional needs may sway decisions. Expect smart, targeted moves to make them contenders. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
