Well the NHL draft is over and while the Blue Jackets lost one headache to trade they selected six prospects including three centers, a right wing, a defenseman and a goalie. This draft was a change of sorts for Scott Howson, before this year Howson hadn’t drafted a player under 6’1″ since the 2008 draft [...]

The Blue Jackets success at the draft (or lack thereof) – 3rd Rd
Onto the third round Jackets nation and before we get started I wanna say while still being judgmental, I’m gonna be a little easier on the picks. Because when I asked my sources (in other words I asked two people on twitter) about the third round being when the draft becomes a crapshoot, they agreed. [...]

The Blue Jackets success at the draft(or lack thereof)-2nd Round
Back again to help figure out how the Blue Jackets have done at the NHL Draft. Last time I did the first round this time I’ll be focusing on the second round or as it should be called “the draft pick graveyard” but I’ll explain that in a bit. In the Jackets 11 drafts they’ve selected [...]

Sunday Stirrup – June 28th
With the draft now in the books, Columbus Fans should be happy with what the management staff was able to do. We all witnessed something that not many General Managers can do.
