The Vegas Golden Knights will select one player from each NHL franchise this summer. There’s no doubt a good player will have to leave the Columbus Blue Jackets.
After the obvious top players like Alexander Wennberg, Brandon Saad and Cam Atkinson, the protection list will be tricky due to a few key players that the team won’t want to lose. Josh Anderson is one of those players. He may not project as a top six forward, but he proved to be a very valuable role player this past season.
