Blue Jackets delight in their fortune, add four more on NHL draft's second day
COLUMBUS, Ohio — NHL general managers and scouts have been known to make grandiose comments when draft weekend is complete and a new batch of prospects has landed in their pool. That sixth-round draft pick? He was way higher on their board. That seventh-round pick? Yeah, he reminds them of (insert generational talent here) … yeah, Patrice Bergeron! Advertisement That's why Don Waddell's comments on Saturday afternoon demanded confirmation. Did the Blue Jackets GM just say that? Yes. Yes, he did. The Blue Jackets drafted highly touted defenseman Jackson Smith with the No. 14 pick on Friday, surprising exactly nobody. They selected goaltender Pyotr Andreyanov at No. 20, surprising many, as Andreyanov was predicted to go late in the second round or early in the third. On Saturday, the Blue Jackets traded back into the third round to select Swedish defenseman Malte Vass with the No. 76 overall pick. And then Waddell said … 'We drafted right, identically, as our list was laid out,' he said. 'The first three guys (Smith, Andreyanov, and Vass) were all in the top 14 on our list.' Come again? 'Correct. That is correct,' Waddell said. 'I can say, probably, it's never happened in my history (in hockey). It's our board, so we'll see in a few years if we're right or not. Our guys put a lot of work into it. We had mid-season meetings, end-of-season meetings, and meetings this week, and the list was unanimous. When you're sitting there at 76 and you're able to get a guy who is still on your top 15 list, there's only one decision to make and that's what we did.' We got exactly who we wanted! Don Waddell says we were able to get 3 of our top 14 players. Hear more from him after selecting 6 new players in this year's draft! 📺 | #CBJ — Columbus Blue Jackets (@BlueJacketsNHL) June 28, 2025 The Blue Jackets bolstered their forward corps with a trade with Colorado on Friday for Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood, but so far this offseason their defense and goaltending have not been improved. On Friday, the Blue Jackets were deep in trade talks with the New York Islanders for defenseman Noah Dobson, but they backed out when the asking price, in Waddell's opinion, got too steep. On Saturday, the Anaheim Ducks traded goaltender John Gibson to the Detroit Red Wings for goaltender Peter Mrazek and two draft picks. The Blue Jackets, according to sources, were not involved in trade talks with Anaheim for Gibson. Advertisement The Blue Jackets did make two trades: a fourth-round pick this year (No. 109) and a fourth-round pick next year to the Red Wings to move up to No. 76 and draft Vass, and two seventh-round picks (Nos. 205, 218) to the Seattle Kraken to move up higher in the round (No. 198). They had other trade offers, too, Waddell said, but they were only pick-for-pick trades, not offers involving players that could boost a roster immediately. By now, you should probably realize Waddell is going to follow his scouts' advice and his own eyes — he saw his share of these amateur players — without caring if that matches 'conventional' wisdom or a wide array of mock drafts. Vass, a highly physical defensive defenseman, was projected by most to be a third-round pick, which is exactly where the Blue Jackets drafted him. But Waddell confirmed he would have taken Vass with the 20th pick in the first round if all other players on the Jackets' master list were taken. 'In Vass' case, when he starts to fall, you say, 'OK, let's think about teams we could make a deal with,'' Waddell said. 'We had already started down that road and made a deal (to get back into the third round). 'I read a lot of stuff — and heard a lot of stuff — about 'Oh, we took a goalie early.' But we wanted to take a goalie and we thought (Andreyanov) was the best goalie. We just felt that, instead of taking a chance — yeah, maybe I could have moved back a few spots — but the worst case scenario is somebody takes him in front of you and you're saying, 'What kind of strategy was that?' I'm a huge believer that if you really like a guy and your number is up, just take the player.' Malte Vass delar ut en tackling #HlinkaGretzkyCup #fbkse — SwehockeyGIFs (@swehockeygifs) August 9, 2024 Vass (6-foot-2, 194 pounds) is headed to Boston University next season. He spent most of last season (40 games) playing for Färjestad in Sweden's second league, but did draw in for five games with the top club. Fifth round, No. 160: C Owen Griffin — A smallish center (5-foot-10, 160 pounds), Griffin played his way into greater prominence in the second half of his season, especially in the playoffs. He had 22-29-51 in 62 games for Oshawa of the Ontario Hockey League, but led the entire OHL in playoff goals (16) and was sixth in points (29). The Blue Jackets saw him play extensively this season, in part because they were checking in defenseman Luca Marrelli, a third-rounder from last year's draft. Advertisement Sixth round, No. 173: LHD Victor Hedin Raftheim — He doesn't turn 18 until August, so Raftheim (already 6-foot-3, 181 pounds) has some filling out to do. In 34 games with Brynäs in Sweden's under-20 league, he had 1-3-4 and 22 penalty minutes. Seventh round, No. 198: C Jeremy Loranger — The Blue Jackets like Loranger enough to trade two later seventh-round picks to move up the board and grab him. He's a small center — 5-foot-9, 161 pounds — but he lit up the British Columbia Hockey League for Sherwood Park with 40-65-105 in only 54 games. He's committed to play at the University of Nebraska-Omaha next season. The Blue Jackets expect all six players drafted this weekend, among others including last year's No. 4 overall pick Cayden Lindstrom, to attend their summer development camp, which runs July 2-5 in the practice rink attached to Nationwide Arena. 'We're happy with the haul we had here,' Blue Jackets assistant director of amateur scouting Trevor Timmins said. 'Now, these are prospects. I mean, we hand them over now to our development team, our development coaches, to help them develop. 'They're young men. They're prospects. Hopefully, they become NHL players for the Blue Jackets.'

Bill Belichick Split with Linda Holliday 1 Year Before Breakup Was Confirmed and Coach Started Seeing Jordon Hudson (Exclusive Source)
A source tells PEOPLE that Bill Belichick and Linda Holliday's relationship had ended by September 2022, a year before their split was confirmed in September 2023 Belichick moved to "a hotel nearby Gillette Stadium" so that Holliday could "continue to stay in his homes" amid their split at the time The source says Belichick "played along" so that Holliday could "transition with the least amount of public humiliation"Bill Belichick and Linda Holliday's relationship was over one year before the public found out about their split, a source tells PEOPLE exclusively. 'Many assumed that Bill had cheated on Linda through 2022 and 2023, but they were broken up by September 2022," the insider says. "Linda was still pretending they were together after the breakup, and Bill played along so she could transition with the least amount of public humiliation and avoid abrupt displacement.' 'Bill moved into a hotel nearby Gillette Stadium in September and allowed Linda to continue to stay in his homes," the source adds. The source close to the former couple also says Holliday's social media activity "changed drastically" after she and Belichick split. A separate source confirmed to PEOPLE in September 2023 that the couple had split, noting that Belichick, 73, and Holliday, 62, had "been pretty separate for a while" by the time their breakup was announced. The couple had been dealing with relationship issues that were "not new" when they separated, the insider revealed. 'Bill is all about football and very busy now. He doesn't want a lot of public attention on this," the source told PEOPLE at the time. Currently, Belichick is dating Jordon Hudson, a former Bridgewater State University cheerleader who has been acting as his publicist through her company Trouble Cub Enterprises. Hudson, 24, was first spotted with Belichick in January 2023 when they were seen walking through the French Quarter in New Orleans, and in September of the same year, they were again spotted in the city on a dinner date. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The couple met when they were seated next to each other on a flight in 2021, and Belichick signed Hudson's textbook, Deductive Logic. As Belichick embarks on his first year as the UNC Tar Heels' head coach, he has made time for Hudson, traveling to Maine to support her bid for Miss Maine USA and enjoying picturesque dinners. In a May 21 post on Instagram, Hudson joked, 'Old Bay with my old bae,' in a caption over a photo of the two having a sunset dinner together by the water, alongside a tin of Old Bay seasoning.

Trucking market stalls in first half of 2025, despite tumultuous trade environment
Chart of the Week: Van Contract initial report of average base rate per mile, National Truckload Index (less estimated fuel costs above $1.20/gal) – USA SONAR: Contract rates for dry van truckload shipments (VCRPM1) are nearly unchanged from this point in 2024, despite the disruptive forces that rocked supply chains earlier this year. Spot rates (NTIL12), which appeared to be accelerating their rise at the end of 2024, are ending the first half of 2025 slightly below year-ago levels. Both rate indices suggest a trucking market that has stalled in its recovery. What are the takeaways from the first half, and what should we watch for in transportation markets over the next six months? After what looked like a straightforward path toward a much stronger freight market in 2025, transportation service providers are closing out the first half of the year in no better position than they were 12 months ago. While the trade war has played a role, it is not the sole driver of stagnation. Intermodal began reclaiming market share from truckload, which it had lost during the pandemic, early last summer. Long-haul truckload demand (LOTVI) has collapsed—down 25% year-over-year—as shippers have increasingly opted for slower but cheaper transcontinental shipping. Intermodal capacity has expanded significantly since 2020, and it is far easier to add containers into service. This dynamic is arguably the most significant and unforeseen development in the recent multi-year surface transportation downcycle. Shippers have also extended their order lead times to account for the unstable maritime sector, as attacks on vessels in the Red Sea have made ocean shipping less reliable. These longer lead times have given shippers more flexibility to move goods once they arrive in the U.S. Warehousing capacity has tightened and costs have risen as a result of this pull-forward strategy. In this environment, intermodal's slower transit becomes an advantage, effectively serving as rolling storage. Trucking has increasingly become a short-haul delivery mechanism—the only option for that final leg of freight movement. Erratic trade policy messaging and implementation have further prolonged and exacerbated these trends, keeping truckload demand depressed and surface transportation rates subdued. So far, we've focused on the direct impacts of geopolitical tensions and trade policy on supply chains. But at the end of the American economy is the consumer. Companies can stockpile all the goods they want, but if no one is buying them, it doesn't matter. The housing market has remained muted. This segment drives a significant share of consumption—not only through construction but also indirectly as people move and purchase furniture and appliances. Relatively high interest rates and sluggish hiring are largely to blame. Thirty-year mortgage rates were near 3% just a few years ago but have hovered just below 7% in recent months. While a 7% mortgage is not historically high, it is substantially higher than what many homeowners locked in previously, discouraging moves. Housing prices have also not been immune to the historic inflation of recent years, compounding the impact of rising rates. The job market is weakening, though not at a historic pace. Jobless claims have edged higher since January, and companies have slowed hiring. While the unemployment rate hasn't moved significantly, the deterioration trend is well established. Most economic headlines have centered on the collapse in consumer and business confidence indices. The University of Michigan's Index of Consumer Sentiment fell from 74 in December to 60.7 in June, up slightly from May's low of 52.2. Sentiment indices don't always track directly with activity, but when consumers and businesses feel uncertain, they tend to pull back, slowing the economy—and freight volumes—further. It is nearly impossible to predict what will happen with policy or geopolitical developments. But a few things are certain. The most important factor for transportation service providers is that capacity continues to exit the market, and new barriers to entry are emerging. While demand erosion has delayed a significant rebound in trucking, it hasn't changed the fact that capacity is steadily shrinking. Intermodal will continue to keep overall rates in check as long as urgency remains low. The transportation market has always needed a catalyst to flip, and these catalysts are often unpredictable. Still, the likelihood of a sharp shift continues to rise. While some dismiss this narrative as tired, the underlying math hasn't changed. If any economic clarity emerges or a stimulating event occurs in the second half of 2025, the shift could be sudden and significant. After more than three years of unwinding excess capacity, the market is increasingly vulnerable. Language requirement enforcement and increased vetting from government agencies will at bare minimum make it harder to get a CDL. Net revocations of trucking operating authorities are still averaging well above last year's levels, signaling that conditions remain unfavorable but are inching closer to an inflection point. The FreightWaves Chart of the Week is a chart selection from SONAR that provides an interesting data point to describe the state of the freight markets. A chart is chosen from thousands of potential charts on SONAR to help participants visualize the freight market in real time. Each week a Market Expert will post a chart, along with commentary, live on the front page. After that, the Chart of the Week will be archived on for future reference.
