Some more background information from Aaron Portzline (Bluejackets beat writer):
The Blue Jackets had Werenski ranked 4th after McDavid, Eichel, and Hanifin. They had Werenski ranked higher than Provorov.
It was sort of unclear from the video, but the guy Kekalinen gets up from the table to talk to is Hextall. Hextall had an offer from the Sharks to trade down from 7 to 9 and was "fishing" for some insight on who Columbus was taking at 8.
