The Columbus Blue Jackets showed promise in their 3-0 preseason shutout win against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Here are the top futures bets for the Blue Jackets' 2021-22 season:

Blue Jackets to Make Playoffs (+1100)

• New offensive-minded system under coach Brad Larsen benefits scorers like Patrik Laine and Max Domi
• Addition of Jakub Voráček (consistent 40+ point producer) strengthens top line
• Defensive overhaul with young talents Adam Boqvist and Jake Bean
• Metropolitan Division appears vulnerable with questionable rosters across multiple teams
• Third place division finish is realistic goal

Zach Werenski for Norris Trophy (+2500)

• Recently signed 6-year, $57.5M contract
• Fully recovered from hernia surgery
• Strong offensive upside and team's best defensive defenseman
• Likely paired with Boqvist on top line and power play

Brad Larsen for Jack Adams Award (+6600)

• Strong value play at current odds
• Four of last ten Jack Adams winners were first-year coaches
• Already familiar with team as assistant coach since 2014
• Would be strong candidate if team makes playoffs
• Odds likely to increase as season progresses


The Blue Jackets' roster changes and favorable division alignment create opportunities for both team and individual success this season, making these futures bets particularly attractive at their current odds.
