The Columbus Blue Jackets have given goaltender Steve Mason a vote of confidence with their offseason. There was speculation that the Jackets would either deal a lot of prospects for Ilya Bryzgalov or deal for another 'tender. With the moves to bring in James Wisniewski and Jeff Carter, the Jackets were relaying a message. Mason is their man, he just better act like it. We expect Mason to put up a decent season, a sort of rebound from his horrible 2010-11 campaign.
