With Carolina and Pittsburgh preforming the way that they are while Columbus is preforming the way they are, yes they will

DUCHENE IS BAD

I think it will click eventually. With that many acquisitions at the deadline, it throws a little wrench in team chemistry. I hope CBJ makes it though..

With no real care who makes it or not I think Columbus sneaks in over Montreal but it will go right down to the last weekend

TBH, we need to win 10 of the next 17 games to secure a playoff spot.

So have you ever heard of the salary cap? You are nearly $5M over it.

Jackets mortgaged their future for a run. If they don't make it, it will be an exodus of all the UFA players in the offseason, people will lose their jobs in the head office and Jackets will be on the brink of a collapse resulting in moving to a new market. Here's to hoping they make a run in the playoffs!

Pit home and home the next 2. We’ll see what’s they are after that.

It certainly is not looking good at this point in time.
When you can't beat the other top teams in your conference, can barely beat NJ, and in 16 games remaining, 4 back-to-backs, 1 Western road swing left, and have to play:
PIT - 2 times
BOS - 3 times
NYI - 2 times
Montreal - once
Calgary - once
Edmonton - once
Nashville - once

Montreal has a much easier schedule, and plays only 1 back-to-back

Jackets will definitely have to man up if they want to go to the spring dance.
