Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description
The Columbus Blue Jackets missed out on a top-10 pick in the NHL Draft Lottery, landing at 14th overall. Last years pick, defenseman Jackson Smith, is still developing at Penn State. With playoff aspirations for the 2026-27 season, GM Don Waddell may trade the pick for a ready-to-play player, as free agency looks weak. The Jackets have seven picks in total, aiming to draft wisely or trade assets to strengthen their team.
