    Blue Jackets Power Rankings 2026: 5th in Metro, Playoff-Bound? Werenski, Marchenko, Greaves | Beatline Blue Jackets
    2026/08/23
    The Columbus Blue Jackets sit fifth in the Metropolitan Division in our 2026 power rankings. With Zach Werenski anchoring the blue line and Kirill Marchenko leading the offense, the Jackets are poised to contend for a wild-card spot. But question marks in goal and on special teams could determine their fate.

    In this episode, we break down the team's strengths, including center depth with Cole Sillinger, Sean Monahan, and Adam Fantilli, and wing depth with Marchenko, Dmitri Voronkov, and Conor Garland. We also examine the goaltending battle between Elvis Merzlikins, Jet Greaves, and Pheonix Copley, and the defensive pairings behind Werenski.

    We project a 96-point season and a second wild-card finish, with Marchenko leading the team in goals. The home opener against Buffalo on October 1st is a must-win tone-setter. Subscribe for daily Blue Jackets analysis on the Beatline Podcast Network.

  • Blue Jackets roster battles: Center logjam, goalie decision, and cut predictions | Beatline Blue Jackets

    Blue Jackets roster battles: Center logjam, goalie decision, and cut predictions | Beatline Blue Jackets
    2026/08/22
    The Columbus Blue Jackets have a logjam at center with Charlie Coyle, Adam Fantilli, Kent Johnson, Isac Lundestrom, Sean Monahan, and Cole Sillinger all competing for spots. Cole Sillinger's new three-year, $13.875 million deal signals he's a core piece, while Zach Werenski's desire to stay long-term anchors the blue line. Jet Greaves' three-year, $15 million contract makes him the likely starter, leaving Elvis Merzlikins as the odd man out.

    On the wings, Kirill Marchenko, Conor Garland, Valeri Nichushkin, and Dmitri Voronkov lead a deep group, with Miles Wood, Danton Heinen, Ryan Lomberg, Mathieu Olivier, and Riley Bezeau battling for the final spots. On defense, Zach Werenski, Ivan Provorov, Damon Severson, Dante Fabbro, Erik Gudbranson, Denton Mateychuk, Egor Zamula, Jake Christiansen, and Brendan Smith create a crowded blue line. The hosts predict Denton Mateychuk earns a top-four role, while Brendan Smith is the odd man out.

    This episode of Beatline breaks down the biggest position battles, depth-chart questions, and roster-cut predictions for the 2026-27 season. The Blue Jackets are aiming for contention, with a wild card berth as a bold prediction. Opening night against the Buffalo Sabres on October 1st will set the tone.

    Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski has said he wants to stay in Columbus, but only if the team is built to win now. That tension could define the Blue Jackets' season, as discussed in the August 20th mailbag episode of the Beatline Podcast Network. The episode also covers the team's center depth, the new goalie contract for Jet Greaves, and a fan mailbag with questions about trades, line combinations, and more.

    The episode dives deep into the Blue Jackets' roster questions. Hosts Brooke and Tony analyze Werenski's contract situation, with two years left on his deal, and what it would take for him to sign long-term. They discuss the center logjam featuring Charlie Coyle, Adam Fantilli, Kent Johnson, Sean Monahan, and both Sillinger brothers, and whether a trade is likely. The new three-year, $15 million contract for goaltender Jet Greaves raises questions about the future of Elvis Merzlikins and Pheonix Copley. The hosts also answer fan questions about the perfect all-time Blue Jackets line, a hypothetical game against the Penguins, and a lightning round covering the best offseason move, biggest question mark, and a dark horse to make the team.

    This episode is perfect for Columbus Blue Jackets fans, also known as the 5th Line, who want in-depth analysis and answers to their burning questions.
