Summary

That's what the Columbus Blue Jackets showed leading up to the 2019 NHL Trade Deadline on Feb. 25, adding Matt Duchene, Ryan Dzingel, Keith Kinkaid and Adam McQuaid, and that's what they have to show on the ice."The one thing that we have in our values from management to coaches to players is that, don't be afraid to make a mistake," Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said at the NHL GM meetings Monday. [RELATED: Complete NHL Trade Coverage | Stanley Cup Playoffs primer: Eastern Conference] If they're going through a transition period, that isn't the main problem."Yeah, it probably takes a little bit of time for each player to come to a new team and get familiar with the style of play and all that," Kekalainen said. Coach John Tortorella said that there was a different kind of pressure with expectations, that he and the players had talked about how it was supposed to be fun, and that he wanted them to allow themselves to play and learn how to handle it."I want to see our team play at our best," Kekalainen said.
