NHL.com put out their first mock draft of the year following the initial release of Central Scouting’s top prospects. Three writers for NHL.com all project the Columbus Blue Jackets to take a forward.
Of course this is one of those “way too early” things as we don’t know where the Jackets will be in the draft order. I think its safe to assume that they will not be in the running for Rasmus Dahlin at number one. They will likely be around the 16th-20th pick as the Jackets currently sit 12th in the league standings.
