When Don Waddell took over as president of hockey operations and general manager of the Blue Jackets last May, he had an important decision to make. He also didn’t want to rush it. When it came to deciding on who would coach the Blue Jackets, Waddell took his time. First, he made the decision a few weeks into his tenure to part ways with head coach Pascal Vincent, then went through the NHL draft and the start of free agency without a head coach in place.

For Zach Werenski, representing Team 🇺🇸 at the international level is one of the top honors in hockey. The #CBJ defenseman wasn't sure he could make it happen this spring, but in the end the pull to put on his country's colors was too strong to say no. https://t.co/R5JMeoo3Cq
#CBJ D and Norris Trophy finalist Zach Werenski doing a Zoom from the #MensWorlds. Werenski credits USA Hockey for allowing him to come in late. Didn't play today because his gear hasn't yet arrived but hopes to play Wednesday vs. Norway.
Cayden Lindstrom got back on the scoreboard last night. While he wasn't able to play for much of this season, the #CBJ helped him through a long rehab process. "The guys there, they were all so supportive. They all wanted to help me every single day." https://t.co/K3u76VR9Ry
