Now is as good a time as any to get caught up on the news around the Blue Jackets. While there’s a lot to discuss, we have to begin with the fallout from the Erik Gudbranson, Nick Cousins situation.

The Anaheim Ducks free fall following a surprisingly strong start to the season has the team sitting just above the Chicago Blackhawks at the bottom of the overall standings.
The Ducks own the third-worst points percentage (.370) in the league ahead of a four-game road trip, which begins Wednesday (Dec. 13) against the New York Islanders. The Ducks’ struggles will probably lead to general manager Pat Verbeek becoming a seller again, as the trade winds have been blowing around some prominent members of the team recently.
