Columbus Blue Jackets Expansion Draft Blue Line Strategy

Expansion draft chatter is heating up along with the June air. With less than three weeks before the Vegas expansion draft the Columbus Blue Jackets have a big choice to make at defense.

Seth Jones and David Savard are certainly getting protected. Zach Werenski is not eligible for the expansion draft. That leaves a huge decision to chose either Jack Johnson or Ryan Murray as the third and final defenseman to be protected.

If the Columbus Blue Jackets can figure out a way to protect Josh Anderson, Murray or Johnson will be likely the best option for Vegas.
