Werenski Future Uncertain, Blue Jackets Push Ahead

Zach Werenski’s future with the Columbus Blue Jackets is heating up, as GM Don Waddell confirms talks are underway — though timing remains unclear. While no deal is set, Waddell’s already in touch with Werenski’s agent and insists this uncertainty won’t sway draft plans, with the team still focused on building. He’s not surprised by the media frenzy, noting similar situations have played out before — just not with this much attention. Waddell remains confident in coach Rick Bowness, backed by player support, and is laser-focused on improving the roster and structure for a stronger season ahead.
