FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – We’ve all heard the talk about this year’s NHL Draft class: the two generational players at the top, followed by a group of 8-10 top-end prospects and, in general, a deep talent pool through the first round and into the early second round.
To no one’s surprise, there has been plenty of talk surrounding teams with multiple assets, and the Blue Jackets happen to be one of them.
GM Jarmo Kekalainen admitted on Thursday that he’s looking for a defenseman, but wouldn’t specify the preferred method of acquisition.
