For the first time since 2019, a collection of prospects and free agent invites will gather in Columbus for the Blue Jackets’ development camp. Included in this group are five of the seven players drafted by the team last week. Here is the full list, followed by the players I’m most eager to see make an impression.
1. Kent Johnson
Position: C/W
Acquired: #6 overall pick, 2021 draft
2022-23 most likely destination: Columbus
Johnson returned to the University of Michigan after last summer’s draft but turned pro at the conclusion of his sophomore season.
