The 2025 Draft Set The Columbus Blue Jackets Up For Future Success

Today we're taking a break from the Blue Jackets and heading up I-71 to check in with the Cleveland Monsters, who lost their franchise leading scorer and franchise leading goalie this summer, and will likely be losing a lot of other pieces too. We look at who the Monsters kept, the impact of losing Jet Greaves and Trey Fix Wolansky, whether Head Coach Trent Vogelhuber can keep them in the playoff race, and who the new guys are, and how they need to step up to have success as a team this upcoming season!Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.
