Why Blue Jackets’ Jackson Smith’s 2-way upside makes him an exciting 2025 NHL Draft prospect

This is a great pick imo. He is a playoff style player who is big, physical, and great skating. Glad the took him instead of reaching on a less talented right handed and it seems like we can still get Hensler too if we want a righty.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba Was a great in Columbus, now hoping Jackson Smith is too!
Pronman saying “the second-most purely talented defenseman in the draft”. High praise and fills in a big part of the future prospect pool.
Love this pick!!!!! Should be great addition! The Russian goalie…..obviously not a lot known by anyone and will be a wait a couple years to see thing? Would have liked for them to go Hensler or the kid from AAA OBJ; I’m guessing they no question take Carbenneau if the Blues hadn’t got him one kick before!!! But if the goalie is ends up being the next Bob, let’s Go!!!
