His projected recovery timeline suggests that he's likely to miss all of training camp, but him being ready for the start of the regular season seems possible if there are no setbacks over the summer. Werenski is an outstanding offensive blueliner who notched 16 goals, 21 assists (10 power-play points) and 92 blocked shots over 77 games as a second-year skater this season, though the Capitals held him in check offensively during the conference quarterfinals.","date":"Thu May 3"},"fullName":"Zach Werenski","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Werenski was a major factor during Columbus' best season in franchise history, posting 11 goals, 36 assists and a plus-17 rating as a rookie. Twenty-one of those points were on the power play, ranking Werenski ninth among NHL blueliners. The threat of a sophomore slump is ultimately outweighed by the 20-year-old's growth potential, especially with the Blue Jackets once again set to dress elite talent around him. Don't worry about the facial fractures that knocked Werenski out of the playoffs, as those have had more than enough time to fully heal.","seasonId":2018,"date":"Wed Sep 13"},"playerRater30DAY":0.8,"playerRater15DAY":1.3,"positionRank":33}
