The Columbus Blue Jackets have until June 1st to make their decision. A few factors will play a role in what is decided, but giving it to Vancouver this year would be a better idea.
Many speculate that the 2017 draft class is weak, making the Jackets second round pick presumably less valuable. However, there will always be disagreement about a group of prospects who haven’t even made it to the NHL yet.
Not buying how weak some are making the upcoming #NHL draft to be…might lack superstar talent up top but there are plenty of good players

This year’s picks for the Columbus Blue Jackets are already locked in because of the early playoff exit.
