Former Duke forward Sean Stewart, a five-star recruit in the 2023 class, commits to Ohio State.
To say patience is wearing thin for both of these two is an understatement. I'm not sure either will be back with their respective team next season. I would have to say if either stays it would have to be Holtmann, as maybe his history buys him one more year to turn things around and make a solid run at the NCAA tournament.
As for Larsen, I'm not 100% sure why the Blue Jackets haven't fired him already. They brought in Gaudreau and overpaid for a defenseman and the team is worse than they were last year. His offense isn't scoring and his defense is non existent.
