2016 Draft Thread III (June 24-25, 7PM)

[blahblah]

Can Jarmo still filibuster? How many GMs to invoke cloture?

Filibuster will do no good, he'll time just run out and we'll lose the pick.. If he still is up there babbling on, he'll be the first GM to be escorted out by security. lol

"With the first pick in the draft, the Toronto Maple Leafs are proud to select...."

(The lights cut out. A confused murmuring is heard in the crowd, building louder and louder. Suddenly, a spotlight illuminates one single mustache.)

"BAH GAWD KING, THAT'S JOHN DAVIDSON'S MUSIC!"

a Russell Brayan and Jim Ross reference in one day... your the hero we need... but not the one that we deserve

The best one was the 3 picture sequence of him without the wheels, then getting hit by a car, and then with the wheels, freaken hysterical!

 

[major major]

Even if Pulju is ready next year he's not going to do much. Same as most rookies.

But by the same token, by the time any of these guys are difference makers our positional needs could and likely would be very different from how we perceive them now.

So don't draft for an immediate player and don't draft for position.

 

[KJ Dangler]

Riddle me this , if the jackets are going to wait to see what the peg does before they make a decision , and if the 6 that we invited for visits , it was the following


The Blue Jackets invited six players, including Puljujarvi, to Columbus in the days following the NHL scouting combine in early June.

The other five players -- forwards Matthew Tkachuk, Logan Brown, Pierre-Luc Dubois and Clayton Keller, and defenseman Jake Bean -- would be candidates for selection if the Blue Jackets trade down in the order.

Anyone see Laine there ? Obviously we're hoping Winnipeg doesn't take Jesse, or we will
Most likely trade the pick . Could u imagine this board of we pass on Laine

 

[KJ Dangler]

Yeah, because Buffalo is so great.

Their new gm has made some great moves . Takes more than a year

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Bob McKenzie on TSN 1050: "CBJ options are trade the pick or conceivably go off the board at three."

Lmao. If they pick Logan brown at 3...I just..

 

[Jive Pawnbroker]

Guess who...

This guy is on my coffee mug at home lol. I'd take it to work but it would get stolen for sure.

Probably just talking about how close their teams are in the alphabet

Possible double entendres with team names as well?

I wouldn't be surprised if we somehow dealt Bob. It would be a bold and risky move.

 

[DJA]

It makes too much sense. That's why I brought it up earlier

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Treliving recalling his old Columbus days.

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Treliving and Kekalainen apparently having a lengthy conversation just off of the draft floor....

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Keep the ****ing pick

 

[clunk]

Please guys just keep the pick and take Puljujarvi. Don't let the Flames have it.

 

[Fro]

4 conversations bt jarmo and treliving

 

[DJA]

Jarmo looks set on Brown at 6. What if EDM or VAN take him?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Would be hilarious

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Why would Edmonton take him? They are already loaded at center.....

Vancouver seems set on taking Dubois, which is fine with me.

I just don't want to sell too low on Pulj/Laine to take Brown. No reason to move the pick unless we get a 1C + top-10 pick back.

What if EDM trades out of #4 and someone jumps up for Brown? Seems risky.

 

[Fro]

I hope it's Bob for calgary's 2nd Rd pick

 

[DJA]

Could something be done for Bennett and #6?

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Bob + Rychel for 6th OA

Package the 6th OA + 3rd OA + Roster player (JJ?) to TOR for 1 OA
