The Columbus Blue Jackets are hoping their new general manager helps them establish a winning culture.
The Columbus Blue Jackets are hoping this is the offseason that is different. The organization has been a playoff team, a basement dweller, and a middling team all in the last five seasons. Searching for a consistent direction, the team brought in Don Waddell to manage the roster and establish a new culture.
Bringing a culture change to Columbus like he oversaw in Carolina is of utmost importance to Waddell. He recently spoke to SiriusXM NHL Network Radio and discussed how the Blue Jackets' organizational mindset needs to re-prioritize winning. The Blue Jackets certainly haven't had Stanley Cup ambitions recently. Coming off of a 27-win season, the goal for now is get better and try to re-enter the playoff picture.
