Season Outlook: Columbus Blue Jackets

[Cyclones Rock]

C'mon now, Jenner nearly had 15 goals last year despite one of the most epic stretches of useless hockey I've ever seen.

If he plays the full season with Wennberg, and gets some PP time, I think 20-25 goals is reasonable. Remove one of those conditions, then 15-20 goals.

I'm also interested in seeing how Jenner's new on-ice training program (the "PEP") works for him. It would seem to round out his game.

Boone Jenner hockey statistics and profile at hockeydb.com

16,30,18,13. Throw out the what I believe to be outlier 30 and one comes up with 47 goals over 3 seasons. Divide by 3. Voila! 15.67.

Seems reasonable to me.

Jenner's skating is a huge concern to me. The faster the league gets, the more trouble he'll have keeping up with the game in all areas. We'll have 4 years to see how it all plays out. I'm very comfortable putting him in the 13-18 goals range.

Where does Milano fit in Columbus’ plans for the next few seasons?

He isn't improving in areas where he needs to in order to play higher in the lineup. Until he can put on strength and protect the puck better, he will be an AHL/NHL tweener.
