Columbus Drafts Finnish Flash Hemming

The Columbus Blue Jackets just pulled off a big move, selecting 17-year-old Finnish phenom Oscar Hemming 14th overall. Already lighting up Boston College with 8 points in 19 games, Hemming’s got elite pedigree — his brother Emil was a first-round pick, and his dad Jonas played 16 seasons in Europe. Before college, he dominated Finnish juniors, scoring 63 points in 31 games with U18 Kiekko-Espoo, and even helped his team win silver. He also shined internationally at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup with 6 points in 5 games. The Jackets are betting big on this young dynamo to inject offensive energy — can he deliver at the NHL level?
