Granted, Columbus was a much worse team than the Montreal Canadiens this season. Even so, he only had 24 points in 54 games, the fifth most on his team. For a player that is capable of putting up 70 points in a full season, this was a less-than-ideal season for Domi. For such a great player, his career has been surprisingly underwhelming. He&#8217;s only made the playoffs one year and has yet to finish top five in voting for any trophy.<\/p>\n<h3>Looking Forward To Next Season<\/h3>\n<p>The Blue Jackets were awful this season, no way of putting it nicely. Finishing lower in the Central Division than the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2021\/05\/26\/detroit-red-wings-free-agency-wishlist-part-two\/\" target=\"_self\">Detroit Red Wings<\/a> was unexpected and shocking to fans. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/l\/lainepa01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Patrik Laine<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/j\/jonesse01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Seth Jones<\/a>, and Max Domi all underperformed, and their goaltenders were not as unstoppable as last season. They didn&#8217;t have a 50-point player or a 20-goal scorer on their team and were in the bottom fourth of the league for goals for and goals against.<\/p>\n<p>So this next year will be very telling to the direction management wants to take the team. They could try to win with the roster they have. With about $1.5 million in cap space and three first-round picks this year, Columbus has a shot at moving up in the rankings. There are not too many big contracts on the books, and a lot of their players are young and have great potential. If the Blue Jackets fail to improve next season, there could be some big changes on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"G0m2le1GTrFXq4eWkc4UCA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1232775243\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'G0m2le1GTrFXq4eWkc4UCA',sig:'dEuivEag3lrNS11vuVxI0-FG7urkU6S5w01HrgebJx0=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1232775243',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Star center Max Domi underwent successful surgery to repair an injured right shoulder on Thursday.
