4. Columbus Blue Jackets
Strengths: The Jackets possess one of the top prospects in hockey in Ryan Johansen, along with another in Nikita Filatov who has upper echelon talent but has not put it all together. Filatov headlines a solid group of wingers that includes Matthew Calvert and Tomas Kubalik, both of whom had impressive rookie professional seasons. The future is also bright on the back end, where the Jackets possess a deep and varied array of blueliners featuring John Moore, David Savard, and Cody Goloubef. Weaknesses: Goaltending is a major question mark, particularly with the regression of starter Steve Mason. Developmental issues in the franchise's history are a cause for concern. There is an overemphasis on finesse in regards to the team's top prospects. Top 5 Prospects: 1. Ryan Johansen, C, 2. Nikita Filatov, LW, 3. John Moore, D, 4. Matthew Calvert, LW, 5. David Savard, D.
