The New Jersey Devils are picking second, marking the fourth time in six years the club has selected in the top five. Fletcher said he's not asking fans to wait 5-7 years for a winning product and a player like Wright, who could step into a lineup next season, would have helped expedite that retool. They can add another talented young player to that stockpile with the second overall pick.Things were looking up three years ago when they chose Jack Hughes with the first overall pick, but things quickly fell apart. Look, it's not that the No. 3 overall pick is a bad thing, but a player like Wright would bring some much-needed excitement and talent to a team in desperate need of both. Chicago did Columbus a solid with such a dismal season but not too dismal, and as a result the team received the sixth pick and the Jones trade was finally completed.Last season, the Blue Jackets used two of their 2021 draftees, Kent Johnson and Cole Sillinger, and saw good production and development from both.
