The NHL draft is set for Dallas next weekend. And free-agent-signing season opens Sunday, July 1. Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen tends to be heard at this time of year. He made the deal for Artemi Panarin at the draft in Chicago last year and sent a tremor through the arena in Buffalo when he selected Pierre-Luc Dubois third overall in 2016. “I’m not actually that patient,” Kekalainen said. “I can be if I have to be, but I’m not by nature that patient.” He said that Thursday. He really did. On one hand, it doesn’t ring true. This is the man with a scouting background, and his considered, conservative bent is to draft and develop. Thus do the Jackets remain one of the youngest teams in the league. In another sense, this same man has not hesitated to pull the trigger on some major deals: hello Panarin, goodbye Brandon Saad; hello Seth Jones, goodbye Ryan Johansen; hello and goodbye Marian Gaborik. Kekalainen’s bold streak cannot be discounted. It is an interesting dynamic as offseason busy time nears. To me, the next task is clear: Shore up the center position — with a top-six, if it can be done. (And, if possible, add another strong veteran to the locker room. Coach John Tortorella’s voice remains too dominant for a team with aspirations.) The Jackets are capable of punching their way to the second round (finally) of the playoffs next season. If the bar is going to go any higher, they’ll need an upgrade at center. Alexander Wennberg took a step backward, and Brandon Dubinsky turned into an expensive liability last season. As good as rookie Pierre-Luc Dubois was — and he was very good — the teenager bore the brunt of the stress at the position. That’s not right. We can talk (as we have) about how the Jackets were a pinged post away from taking a 3-0 lead against the Capitals — but the real conversation has to center on matching up with Evgeni Kuznetsov, Nicklas Backstrom, Lars Eller and Jay Beagle. And with Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Derick Brassard and (insert Pittsburgh Penguins fourth-line center here). Kekalainen understands that the Jackets have to go through the Capitals and the Penguins to win the Metropolitan Division. He also believes that his team will be stronger down the middle as Dubois continues to mature, Wennberg and Dubinsky bounce back from injury and ignominy, and the experience of the collective is banked. Kekalainen also points out that almost every team in the league is looking for top-nine centers, and they are imported only at a premium. Quick: Name a Vegas center other than Wild Bill Karlsson. 2 There is also the salary cap to consider. The way Kekalainen was talking, it sounded as if he wants to get extensions for Panarin, goalie Sergei Bobrovsky and defenseman Zach Werenski (among others) done sooner rather than later. Bread and Bob will be unrestricted free agents next year, Werenski restricted. Although the salary-cap ceiling is not a problem right now, it might well be pushing down on the Jackets in a year. Planning is paramount. If center John Tavares, the prize of the current crop of unrestricted free agents, wants to come to Columbus, then you roll out the red carpet immediately and worry about the cap later. Absent that remote possibility, do you give Paul Stastny, a legitimate No. 2 center, a kick in the 32-year- old tires? Do you look at Tyler Bozak, a No. 3 center who can be a defensive liability? Their price tags will inflate on the open market; signing one of them could inhibit cap flexibility for years. “If there’s anything we like — anything we believe will make the team better for the short and long term, we’ll go for it,” Kekalainen said. Jackets fans have oft heard that boilerplate response. I’m still thinking: trade. The cap ceiling is rising, which leaves space to move contracts. Kekalainen has chips, and he’s about to sit down at the table. 3 http://www.dispatch.com/sports/20180615/blue-jackets--preseason-schedule-opens-with-home- games-sept-17-and-18 Blue Jackets | Preseason schedule opens with home games Sept. 17 and 18 By Steve Gorten – June 16, 2018 The Blue Jackets announced Friday their eight-game preseason schedule leading up to the start of the 2018-19 NHL regular season. It will feature four home games, three road games and a neutral site game in Clinton, New York, as part of Kraft Hockeyville USA’s annual event. Clinton was chosen to host the 2018 Kraft Hockeyville USA preseason game after receiving the most votes online. In winning the contest, it also was designated as “the most spirited hockey community in America” and awarded $150,000 for rink upgrades to Clinton Arena, where the game will be played. Tickets to the preseason game are free and awarded to the winning community. In other Jackets news, the team confirmed that forward Cam Atkinson will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Columbus Clippers’ home game June 27 at Huntington Park. The Jackets are offering fans a chance to win tickets to the game and meet Atkinson, as well as receive a game-used Atkinson stick, jersey and signed puck. Preseason schedule Monday, Sept. 17 vs. Buffalo, 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 18 vs. Chicago, 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21 at St. Louis, 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22 at Pittsburgh, 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 23 vs. St. Louis, 3 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 25 vs. Buffalo Sabres at Clinton, N.Y., 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28 vs. Pittsburgh, 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 29 at Chicago, 8:30 p.m. 4 https://theathletic.com/394296/2018/06/15/scratch-pad-1-updates-on-ian-cole-jack-johnson-zach- werenski-and-more-as-blue-jackets-head-into-nhls-silly-season/ Scratch Pad #1: Updates on Ian Cole, Jack Johnson, Zach Werenski and more as Blue Jackets head into NHL’s silly season By Aaron Portzline - June 16, 2018 A collection of notes and nibbles as the Blue Jackets head into the NHL’s silly season: • The only pending unrestricted free agent the Blue Jackets seem intent on resigning is defenseman Ian Cole, and even that is far from a guarantee. Cole has said that he loves playing in Columbus and would be delighted to stay, even if it means foregoing a taste of the market on July 1. But it’s unclear if the Blue Jackets are willing to put a deal on the table that’s substantial enough — likely $4 million-plus per year on a multiyear deal — to keep Cole from testing the market. He could make substantially more amid a feeding frenzy in what is a pretty weak class of free-agent defensemen. Talks continue with the Blue Jackets, but Cole is in the driver’s seat here. • If the Blue Jackets can’t/don’t re-sign Cole, there’s a chance there will be a market for his rights between the draft and July 1. Perhaps surprisingly, the same holds for UFA D Jack Johnson, who has generated surprising interest from teams anticipating his availability on July 1. Montreal has been mentioned as a destination, as has Detroit. But keep Pittsburgh in mind, too. The Jackets could acquire a late-round draft pick for teams to acquire the rights to negotiate with Cole or Johnson before they hit July 1. • It’d be something, wouldn’t it, if Johnson stayed in the Metro and played for the rival Penguins? (Remember, he’s very close with Sidney Crosby.) In the small world that is the NHL, it would be Johnson taking Cole’s old spot with the Penguins — as a physical, 4-5 defenseman — just as Cole, essentially, took Johnson’s spot a few months earlier with the Blue Jackets. The Jackets were open to trading Johnson at the trade deadline but didn’t get the first-round pick they wanted. (At least one team offered them two later-round picks.) So they kept him as an insurance policy.
