by from on (#1JBK0)
Jesse Puljujarvi dropped the mic after dropping to fourth overall at the NHL draft.
Expected to be selected third by the Blue Jackets, the Finnish forward is now property of the Edmonton Oilers after Columbus decided instead to pick Pierre-Luc Dubois, who they had tabbed all along as their man.
