Werenski to the Blue Jackets

Submitted by JonnyHintz on
Michigan defenseman Zach Werenski was drafted 8th overall to Columbus tonight. He was open to the possibility of leaving Michigan after one season, so what do you think the chances are that he takes his shot in the NHL?

Well you can't sign a contract without being drafted until you are out of draft eligibility at age 22. So the only people who would be confused by the title are those that: A) don't know the rule B) haven't paid attention to Werenski's draft stock C) didn't know that the draft was tonight Or D) which is a combination of those.

Hope he stays but I'm glad the Jackets drafted him, it gives me an even bigger excuse to wear my UM hockey jersey to games (not that I needed one).
