This week in Blue Jackets talk
The shows spent the week on Columbus's rough start, with talk centering on dysfunction both on and off the ice. Rick Bowness's volatile behavior, including a practice stick-slam incident, has come up repeatedly as the team struggles and key players like Kirill Marchenko depart. There's also been ongoing discussion about whether Zach Werenski could be traded, with the conversation touching on the broader question of whether coaching changes or roster moves can actually fix what's happening in Columbus.
