If you missed #9, be sure to read that first. A classic Buckeye and Columbus Blue Jackets stud, R.J. Umberger.
#8 – Rostislav Klesla
The first true Columbus Blue Jackets player comes in 8th in our top player rankings. Rusty was the first draft pick in franchise history.
The Jackets were somehow stuck with the fourth overall draft pick in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft even though they won zero games the year before. I guess the Jackets shouldn’t complain though since the Vegas Golden Knights got the sixth pick this season.
