Three years after Artemi Panarin left the Blue Jackets high and dry, they've found a similar replacement in Johnny Gaudreau
Oh, yes, there’s also a new “Breadman” in town with his own catchy nickname: “Johnny Hockey.”shocking the NHL by picking the Blue Jackets as a star UFA forward who left his former team, the Calgary Flames, wondering why he left. In a way, it was a decision that felt like a time reversal for Columbus, which instantly felt healed by whatever “wrongs” Panarin inflicted.The similarities are too obvious to ignore.
Also, like Panarin, Gaudreau is a rare breed of forward who can accurately be described as a “one-man breakout.” He gains the offensive zone with possession a lot, almost at will, and is able to hold onto the puck until teammates arrive. At that point, he’s able to create scoring chances with elite skating and hands that generate pinpoint passes or shots.in 2017-18 and 2018-19 . Gaudreau racked up 115 points for the Flames last season while playing on the NHL’s most productive line.
Adding that type of talent to a team with a highly skilled group of young players that includes Patrik Laine — a 24-year old who’s already had 40 goals in a season — is the main reason there’s a strong sense of optimism in Columbus.
