COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Blue Jackets convened for training camp Wednesday weighed down by the grief of losing star forward Johnny Gaudreau three weeks ago.
"I'll miss him the rest of my life," said a somber Monahan, who will dress next to Gaudreau's empty stall in the Blue Jackets locker room.“To say we know exactly what to do, I don't think that's fair,” said Jenner, who's in his 12th season in Columbus. “I don't think there's a playbook out there for this situation and what has happened. And that's OK. I think we're going to learn and lean on each other as we go on.
The Blue Jackets will have their first day on the ice on Thursday with a new coach, Dean Evason, and the new general manager who hired him, Don Waddell. Waddell said there will be counseling and other services available for players who may have a tough time making sense of playing hockey after Gaudreau's death.
