The Columbus Blue Jackets have several players to keep an eye on during your upcoming fantasy draft.

With just over a month left until the NHL season starts, it’s time to start thinking about your fantasy hockey draft. The stakes are high and the smack talk is relentless in your league so there is no messing around this season. Time to start thinking about drafting some Columbus Blue Jackets to ensure you take home the title.

There are several CBJ players that can help you win your league this year from the obvious stars, to some late round sleepers. Whether you play in a standard scoring league or you keep track of obscure stats, you should have a Jacket on your team.

While I believe that Artemi Panarin will start the season on this team, it is likely he won’t finish in Columbus. So, for the purposes of this article, we will exclude the Breadman from this list.

But Panarin is a no brainer when it comes to your fantasy team. He will produce at a high level no matter where he plays and should be drafted in the first two rounds in your league.

Lets take a look at five Columbus Blue Jackets that will help your fantasy team.
