The Blue Jackets have spent years chasing league respect, and now they finally have a player with the kind of hardware that changes the conversation in every dressing room and every front office. This is bigger than one trophy because it rewrites what the franchise can sell to the next wave of players and keeps the Jackets from being an afterthought in a league that never waits for you.
