COLUMBUS, Ohio — It was probably a wise decision by the Columbus Blue Jackets not to hold their annual draft watch party for fans this year.All due respect to forward Oscar Hemming, whom the Blue Jackets selected with the No. 14 pick on Friday. Hemming, 17, is a big, sturdy forward who will be a sophomore at Boston College this fall. He has the look (6 feet 4, 202 pounds) of an NHL power forward.But it might be hard for the Blue Jackets, especially general manager Don Waddell, to look toward the future and smile when the house — figuratively, of course — is on fire. Unlike most draft nights, this was not a celebratory night for the franchise.The doubts regarding the Columbus future of defenseman Zach Werenski, arguably the greatest player in franchise history, became significantly more real earlier in the day with reports by The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun that Waddell has begun to field trade offers for Werenski.On Thursday, Waddell had said he wasn’t entertaining offers for Werenski until the two could meet after the draft. But it seems increasingly likely that Werenski won’t extend his current contract with the Blue Jackets ($9.58 million salary cap hit) when it expires after the 2027-28 season.Trading Werenski, 28, is a nightmare scenario for the Jackets, but they may also realize that his value — he’s the reigning Norris Trophy winner, and he has two years remaining on his contract — may never be higher.
