Columbus Blue Jackets winger Johnny Gaudreau is looking forward to working with new head coach Mike Babcock and believes that the team will have a bounce-back year. "He's been in this league for a long time," Gaudreau said about Babcock to Adam Kimelman of NHL.com. "He's going to come straightforward with what he wants and how he wants his team ran. It's what we need. We need that hard-nosed coach that's going to push us in practices and in games. I'm excited to get out there and start the season off with him, and I think we're going to have a good year this year." Columbus finished with the second-worst record in the league last season and the team's poor play also left a mark on Gaudreau's numbers, as the skillful winger completed his debut campaign in Ohio with only 74 points (21 goals, 53 assists) in 80 games. However, Gaudreau appears to be very confident that the 2023-24 campaign will be completely different for him and the team.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
