Blue Jackets prospect Gabriel Carlsson part of Sweden's WJC camp in Lake Placid


The Blue Jackets have four of their prospects participating in USA Hockey's national junior team evaluation camp this weekend in Lake Placid -- but don't forget about steady Swedish defenseman Gabriel Carlsson.

Carlsson, a first-round pick of the Jackets in 2015 (No. 29 overall), was one of eight defensemen on Sweden's initial evaluation camp roster and he's en route to New York for a week of practice, off-ice work and exhibition games against the United States and Finland.

You'll remember the Blue Jackets striking a deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs to acquire an additional first-round pick, sending two later picks in exchange for No.
