2019 Draft Thread

[CBJWerenski8]

I always fall for this and then nothing really happens. Lots of talk at the draft, very little wheeling and dealing. I remain open minded though.

Yep.

Some more info for you.

I had Angle ranked 43rd among OHL'ers this year.

Thanks for your input.

Just a wild speculation, but does he have the potential to be a smaller version of Boone Jenner in your opinion?

Um. No, I don't think so. Jenner was a prime time, point per game player in his NHL draft year.

If Angle ends up working out for you, he likely ends up as an energy guy in the Tyler Motte vein.

Some insight into the picks straight from Siren and Clark.

Thanks for the review. This is the first draft in which I didn't watch, not cared. There was almost no chance of anytime of meaningful trading and, obviously, we didn't have any higher picks.

Most boring draft eva... lol.

Although watching Subban move was interesting and doesn't bode all that well for us on July 1.

These kids were born after the start of the century. Jeez am I getting old.

Saw the graphic that showed that Jackets had most top10 picks since the start of the century - 13. Do you feel like it?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

The defenseman kid has caught my eye a bit. 6'3 with some offensive upside. If he can skate (which they said he can, but why would they say he can't) and stay healthy I like the investment.

No. Nash, Joey (thru Seth),Murray. Zach & PLD are all that have made a lasting (positive) impression. Klesla meh. LeClaire injury prone at best. Zherdev, Picard, Brule, Brass, Jake,Filatov either were busts or given up on too soon. Toss in Wennie & Milano and as a group I'd say the Jackets' #1 picks are underwhelming.

Our first draft class born after our first ever game.

A question to those much more knowledgeable than me re: this year's draft prospects; was this year's class simply an average one compared previous years or did it stand out one way or another? Did we really miss out on that much?

I didn't follow it closely but from what I gathered it was an above average class. 2 Really good guys at the top in Hughes and Kakko then a group of pretty good prospects.

Jarmos Post draft media availability interview

I like his candor on this answer:



Overall Jarmo definitely seemed a bit in the dumps. I can't tell if that reflects concern about the next couple weeks, or if that's just a scout being depressed about not getting his favorite draft choices.
