Since we are throwing names out here... Decided I'd share another one... Mark Scheig (The Hockey Writers) stated he believes the Blue Jackets are very interested in Alexander Alexeyev, Russian defenseman playing in the WHL for Red Deer.
He's a pretty big (6'3", 200 lb) Defenseman that skates pretty well. Supposedly, he has a pretty solid all around hockey game, low risk player. Drawbacks to his game- Is injured quite a bit, might lack the offensive upside. But, he scored 37 points in 45 games in the regular season, and added 5 points in 3 post-season games this season, which isn't too bad...
And, I know this is from watching about a 2 minute highlight tape, so you have to take it with a grain of salt... But, I thought he showed some surprising offensive upside in watching it.
He seems to be ranked as late 1st to early 2nd round pick
