Trent Vogelhuber

These were first games for the assistant coaches, too, who run the power play and the special teams.

Don Granato and Trent Vogelhuber.

respectively.

So two power play goals, five for five on the penalty kill, including a full two-minute three-on-five that they fought off.

that the special teams is better.

Dear Don Granato, dear Trent Vogelhuber, dear Jared Ball, and dear Rick Bonas.

It has to be better.

And I know you know that.

So there's a chance he might not even be here next year.

Maybe Trent Vogelhuber will take over.

But that's yet another coach.

So maybe that played a role in it.

Yeah.

They've also brought in Trent Vogelhuber, who was an excellent coach in the AHL for the Cleveland Monsters.

Did a lot of very good things down there with, frankly, very little.

Um, it was very much the, the Monsters for a minute were, they, they had a really good team, and then slowly that team was chipped away and chipped away, and by the end of it he was still getting basically the same results, but without the high caliber of, of players that he, that he had.

So two really promising assistant coaches.

I suspect Trent Vogelhuber is the heir apparent in Columbus.

Bones signed a one-year contract extension.

Maybe next summer he's like, "You know what? No, I'm not done here yet.

And obviously there's brand new coaches on both special teams.

So Trent Vogelhuber is running the penalty kill.

Don Granato is running the power play.

They were all there last night.

So they just take one year contract after one year contract.

Seems like they've hired his successor in Trent Vogelhuber, who was the coach of the Cleveland Monsters for the last three or four seasons, who I'm a huge fan of.

So it sounds to me like Rick Bonas has got this one more year.

I'm not opposed to it.

So it sounds like this is probably gonna be Rick Bowness's last year.

He signed a one-year extension, and it looks like he is kind of doing that, um, you know that thing that veteran players do where they just, like, they don't know if they're ready to be done yet, so they just take one-year contract after one-year contract? Seems like they've hired his successor in Trent Vogelhuber, who was the coach of the Cleveland Monsters, uh, for, for the last three or four seasons, who know I'm a huge fan of.

So it sounds to me like Rick Bowness is, has got this one more year.

Um, I'm not opposed to it.

I just think that the things he does are kind of limited.

However, he's brought in Don Granato, who is a very, very good coach at getting the best out of the offense of young players, which is something the Blue Jackets really struggled with last year.

Um, and then also they brought in Trent Vogelhuber as well, who it seems like is the heir apparent.

So Rick Bowness hopefully is gonna do what he's good at, which is defense and communication, and he's gonna let Don Granato handle the offense, and then he's gonna, you know, mentor Trent Vogelhuber to be, be the next guy.

But if you don't have Ad- if you don't have Adam Fantilli, then the entire forward corps is gonna have to work around that.

You've got brand new coaches in Don Granato and Trent Vogelhuber.

Vogelhuber will be a little bit familiar with Fantilli.

Don Granato is probably familiar only in that he's watched him play previously, right? This is a, this is a problem.
