The Columbus Blue Jackets select with the fourth overall draft pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft from the Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada for what is looking to be the final in-person draft for the 32 NHL franchises before the war rooms return.

This also calls for the debut of the non-arena atmosphere and arrival of the new Utah Hockey Club on the draft floor.

As previously mentioned by Alternate Governor, President and General Manager Don Waddell Waddell and other insiders around the team and league, the franchise is open to moving the top draft pick if it means to add now talent in their window.

There are plenty of good prospects in this draft class from Be the Genera Manager - 4th Overall

There are plenty of good prospects in this draft class from Celeberini down, but there is worry about the number of players not signed and rumored to move on this summer via the trade market.

If Waddell, do you bring in someone like a Marner for the four, or just pick Ivan Demidov?

HIRED - NEW COACH TODD MCLELLAN

Columbus hires Todd McLellan as their 11th head coach in league history. The 56 year old was axed after the NHL All Star Game by the Los Angeles Kings when they were not in a playoff spot. He coached the great Shark teams and the middling Oilers. A 0.581 winning percentage in about 1,300 NHL games coached. A safe hire but leaves Woodcroft out there.

Right choice? More tomorrow…
