We’re less than two weeks away from the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, so I thought it would be a good time to look back at past results from the tenure of general manager Jarmo Kekalainen.
Too Early To Tell
No one has reached the NHL yet from the 2019 and 2020 draft classes, but that isn’t unexpected. Most were later round picks which require several years of development.
Yegor Chinakhov, the surprise first round selection in 2020, has signed his entry level contract and will likely split time between Cleveland and Columbus next season. Tyler Angle (7th round, 2019) made his Cleveland debut this year and was a point per game player.
