Fans in Nationwide Arena erupted at the draft party when Columbus announced Taylor Hall as the first overall pick in the AHL entry draft. It was a no-brainer for Columbus to pick Hall, who is a back-to-back memorial cup champion, and back-to-back memorial cup MVP, how's that for some accolades? His combination of size, speed, and top end skill is exactly what the Jackets were hoping for. He instantly becomes the best winger on the team and Columbus is hoping he will develop into a franchise winger and dominate for a long time. His ability to blow by defenders and beat goalies with his lightning quick release was just something the Jackets couldn't pass up. It appears that being one of the worst teams in the league has its perks! Columbus is on the board again at #13 and looking to add to its solid core.

I would've had a hard time choosing with all the talent available with the #1 pick. But I think you can't go wrong with Taylor Hall. He's got all the tools to be a franchise player for your club for a long time. But hey, if you decide to trade him, give the Bruins a call ;)
