Dreger: "I have a suspicion" it was #CBJ trying to trade for No. 2 overall pick. #NHLJets "weren't really interested" in moving pick. 1290

Dreger: Belief is #Oilers likely would have taken Juoelevi if Puljujarvi hadn't fallen to them at No. 4.

Girard to Nashville, oh god

 

[MoeBartoli]

Dammit....Debrincat to the Hawks. Because, of course.

Hawks must not know what they're doing....after all, we passed on him.

 

[WannabeFinn]

and Pittsburgh gets the #1 European goalie

 

[WannabeFinn]

Grundstrom to Leafs

 

[CBJWerenski8]

We're almost up again. MY guess is a trade back

 

[CBJx614]

Now that we're not getting Pulju or Steel, I don't care who they draft, so long as there's no more players from the Q.

EDIT: to preempt the people who ask me why I feel this way, here's a list of every player Columbus has drafted out of the QMJHL, by far the weakest of the three Canadian junior leagues.

Louis Mandeville (9th, 2000)
Pascal Leclaire (1st, 2001)
Aaron Johnson (3rd, 2001)
Philippe Dupuis (4th, 2003)
Mathieu Gravel (8th, 2003)
Alexandre Picard (1st, 2004)
Petr Pohl (5th, 2004)
Justin Vienneau (7th, 2004)
Derick Brassard (1st, 2006)
Maxime Frechette (5th, 2006)
Matt Marquardt (7th, 2006)
Jakub Voracek (1st, 2007)
Steven Delisle (4th, 2008)
David Savard (4th, 2009)
Petr Straka (2nd, 2010)
Mathieu Corbeil (4th, 2010)
Julien Pelletier (4th, 2014)
Oliver Leblanc (7th, 2014)

Savard turned out fine. If i read right some think PLD could be like the next Drouin.

I'm not a huge fan of the Q myself, but im not dismissing a player solely because of where they played. Crosby, for all the **** he gets played in the Q and hes unquestionably the best player in the world (until McD and Puljujärvi play). And that Drouin kid turned out pretty good as well.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Bitten on the board still

 

[CBJWerenski8]

So much for all these exciting trades

???

Kulikov+33 for Pysyk, 38, 89

DeAngelo for a pick

pretty decent if you ask me

After all the hype before the draft? All the names out there? Color me disappointed.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Just for funzies draft Bitten. Bittner and Bitten would be awesome.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Bitten with our 3rd rounder would be amazing

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Vitaly Abramov

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Abramov, great pick!!! Great pick

 

[WannabeFinn]

We got abramov!

 

[Jackets16]

So, I guess Jarmo isn't an idiot for this pick. LOL.

 

[stevo61]

Another skilled 3rd rounder

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Colorado picked Josh Anderson. I wasn't aware this was an expansion draft.

*Ba dum tsss*

 

[niflheim]

 

[major major]

Pleeeze be like Bjork.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

 

[WannabeFinn]

Beau Bennett traded for a 3rd lol

 

[blahblah]

There you go an exciting pick. I love the the rebels and Abramov is one of those.

 

[Xoggz22]

While I was the only one here that wanted Dubois, looks like I have company in the "draft Debrincat" camp. I do like Abramov, the winger from Gatineau as well, but I have The Cat tops on my list for the 2nd round

foresight yet again... I love this pick
