The player targeted at the 3rd overall rank by the Blue Jackets has just been revealed and it's a big surprise
Just a few hours away from the much anticipated 2023 National Hockey League draft, extremely interesting information is beginning to circulate, even leaks.
Take a look at what the reputed Corey Pronman just threw out there:
"All I've heard today [in Nashville] is that Columbus is 'madly' in on Will Smith... I really think they would take him over [Leo] Carlsson." Wow! If Kent Hughes manages to move up to the 4th overall pick of the San Jose Sharks, he could possibly hit a home run by having the chance to get his hands on Leo Carlsson.
And if the Sharks want Matvei Michkov, Hughes could have Carlsson at the 5th overall rank, which would be a completely dream scenario.
In short, we will have the answer tomorrow, but this is huge news circulating tonight.
The Columbus Blue Jackets are really on track to draft Will Smith at the 3rd overall rank, which fits with the recent statements of their GM Jarmo Kekalainen.
Let's also mention that the Jackets have not and will not meet with Matvei Michkov. They don't want him.
