The Columbus Blue Jackets relieved one of their assistant coaches of his duties.
The Columbus Blue Jackets made sweeping change to the organization this offseason. Perhaps the organization's most important moves were the hiring of a new general manager and head coach. With Don Waddell in charge of personnel decisions and Dean Evason now behind the bench, the Blue Jackets are hoping the duo can spearhead a resurgence in Columbus.
Mark Recchi was hired as an assistant coach in Columbus prior to the 2023 season and signed to a two-year contract. Brought in to help stabilize the team and aid the team's power play, Recchi and the Blue Jackets endured a miserable campaign instead. After just one season behind the team's bench, Recchi is now in the market for a new coaching job.
