The Blue Jackets once again failed to qualify for the postseason. Since the Atlanta Thrashers qualified for the playoffs in the East, the Blue Jackets were, until the 2008–09 season, the only NHL team to have never played a post-season game. Off-season The off-season was dominated by a contract dispute with top forward Nikolay Zherdev, who had threatened to return to Russia to play if Columbus did not meet his demands.Lebrun Pierre Zherdev threatening to stay in Russia https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/zherdev-threatening-to-stay-in-russia/article18171433/ The Globe and Mail September 14, 2024 en-CA August 22, 2006 Zherdev remained a holdout for much of the preseason. However, the two parties were able to come to an agreement approximately a week before the season began. 2 Regular season The Blue Jackets, hoping to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in franchise history, got off to a disastrous start, falling as low as 6–16–2 into December, briefly holding the worst record in the NHL. The Jackets' poor start led general manager Doug MacLean to fire head coach Gerard Gallant on November 13.Blue Jackets fire Gerard Gallant https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=184195&hubname=nhl TSN.ca September 14, 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20070929174427/https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=184195&hubname=nhl September 29, 2007 November 13, 2006 Assistant coach Gary Agnew was named interim head coach the following day.Blue Jackets Name Gary Agnew Interim Head Coach http://www.bluejackets.com/news/press/arts/3318.0.html Columbus Blue Jackets September 14, 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20061118025925/http://www.bluejackets.com/news/press/arts/3318.0.html November 18, 2006 November 14, 2006 Gallant would be replaced a week later by veteran coach Ken Hitchcock.Blue Jackets hire Hitchcock as coach https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=185480&hubname=nhl TSN.ca September 14, 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20070929160419/https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=185480&hubname=nhl September 29, 2007 November 22, 2006 Coincidentally, Hitchcock's first game as Jackets head coach was against the Philadelphia Flyers, the team that fired him as head coach earlier in the season.Flyers ruin Hitchcock's Jackets debut https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/flyers-ruin-hitchcock-s-jackets-debut-1.612750 CBC.ca September 14, 2024 November 24, 2006 The Blue Jackets were shut out a league-high 16 times during the regular season.
