Columbus Blue Jackets Draft Profile: Veini Vehvilainen
With their 6th round pick, the Columbus Blue Jackets added to their goalie corps by drafting Veini Vehvilainen.
Thank goodness I don’t have to properly pronounce the name of the newest member of the Columbus Blue Jackets goalie corps anytime soon. The Finnish goalie has quite a mouthful of a name and quite a decorated career thus far.
Veini Vehvilainen was the only overage player the CBJ took in this season’s draft. The goalie is 21-years-old and has spent the last three seasons in Liiga in Finland. The netminder has grown to become the top goalie in the entire league.
