Jackets All-Prospect Team

Columbus_blue_jackets_v_toronto_maple_leafs_galjkqwoaukl_medium

 

Here's a quick idea of the Jackets all-prospect team. The players that qualify have all either played less than one full season, or have not played in the NHL at all. Not a bad squad, but the need for centers in the organization is obvious. The strength is certainly the blueline, something that GM Scott Howson and the scouting staff have actively worked on the past few seasons.

 

Nikita Filatov - Kevin Lynch - Maksim Mayorov

Alexandre Picard - Matt Calvert - Mike Blunden

Tom Sestito - Sean Collins - Tomas Kubalik

Jake Hansen - Cameron Atkinson - Stefan Legein

Trent Vogelhuber - Kyle Neuber

 

John Moore - Cody Goloubef

Brent Regner - Nick Holden

Grant Clitsome - Teddy Ruth

Will Weber - David Savard

 

Kevin Lalande

Dan LaCosta

Whatever happened to John Hughes?

I see he went overseas… but he’s only 20. Think he’ll come back?

Hughes was just an invite last year, and didn’t earn a contract with the Jackets so I think it’s safe to say he’s not in their plans anymore. I really did like him in junior and thought he performed well in the summer last year, but the guys who get paid to make the calls didn’t agree.

I know he was just an invite last year, but that’s still a bit surprising. From my seats, he was one of the better forwards last year behind Brassard, Voracek, and Calvert.

The defense looks pretty solid IMO. The forward ranks are thin, but that is deceiving. Usually prospects are deceiving since players like Brassard, Voracek got promoted quickly. An under 21 line-up would look a lot more impressive in CBJ land.

Filatov, Voracek, Brassard

i would kill to see Hitch put this line together at least for a few games to see how it works.
