Description

If the Jackets would've finished the season 1 spot worse every year, these were the players taken right before their pick. This ignores all of their pick trades, just original draft position/lottery results of their own picks.

This means they would have never had Rick Nash (they traded up for him) (they've never won 1st)

All of the players listed here are players who would've started their career with Columbus if they could've picked the same player chosen 1 spot higher. Barring they listened to their scouts, they have an early history of not.

Some of those picks were a ways off the boards, not sure if anyone had scheifele that high other than Winnipeg. Dougie Hamilton right there too. Colombus should have redone there gm and or scouting a few times through the years. That’s quite a few missed picks

Their old GM (Doug MacLean) was eventually exposed for ignoring scouts for multiple picks. One specifically I believe was 2005. MacLean wanted Brule, while all the Euro scouts were recommending to take Kopitar, who was picked 5 spots later.
