It's too bad. I though Jarmo did some really good things to make the Blue Jackets almost relevant for a brief period of time.

I was always just impressed by his clairvoyance related to Finnish players. He just somehow knew everything about how their careers would turn out, and was able to just masterfully navigate the Blue Jackets to all their success as a result.
He did really manage to last a very long time, considering how little success he actually brought the team. 10 full seasons, plus the end of the 2012-13 year and the first 60% of this season. Five playoff appearances, one real series win, plus a play-in series win in 2020 Covid playoffs (when they were beneath the playoff cut line but for Covid).
I do wonder how much the Babcock stuff put the final nails in his coffin this year. Team can't have been stoked to hire a coach not even to have him make it to the first exhibition game.
