NHL Draft: History shows No. 8 can be great
Later this week, Blue Jackets management will wait for their turn to make the eighth overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, which will be held June 26-27 at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla.
This year marks the 53rd draft in NHL history and, according to many scouts, there is a deep pool of talented prospective players.
There is plenty of speculation surrounding who the Blue Jackets will select with their first pick. Of course, the decision will depend on which players are available, how their master list is set up and who best fits the needs of the team. Things can change quickly. Anything could happen.
