2010 NHL Draft Open Thread

Photo

I'll leave this thread going all day, we can use it as an open forum leading up to, during, and after the draft. As our picks are made or if there are trades made by the CBJ, I will make a separate post dedicated to that move. Otherwise, this is your draft thread folks! I'd love to hear your thoughts on what you think the Jackets will do- will they trade the pick? Keep it and draft one of the big three?

Here's my final "wish"- I want the Jackets to trade down to the 7/8/9 position, and draft Ryan Johansen. I'm loving more and more what I read about him, and he fits an obvious organizational need. The big three defensemen available at fourth overall are fantastic, but one must not forget about the depth and talent already in the system.

David Savard just won the award for Top Defenseman for the entire CHL. Cody Goloubef is making the transition to pro next year along with Teddy Ruth and last year's first rounder John Moore. There is serious talent there- and I think that will allow the Jackets to use their first pick on a center.

In the process of trading down, the Jackets can perhaps pick up a second round pick. (Looking at you Carolina) and that would give Columbus three picks in the second round. At that point, some or all of those picks could be packaged to either move up into the late first round, or be moved for an NHL player- preferably a blueliner.

At any rate this should be an exciting weekend for Columbus fans!

i'll kick it off...

I voted for “keep it, draft one of the ‘big three’ blueliners”

pretty much guarantees that we get someone we need, whether or not they will be used this year or not…you got an important part of the system.

If the right package comes along, then whatever…just don’t bite on anything. Let’s be smart about this.

tho pondering a bit, with John Moore probably making his way to the majors….maybe Gudbrandson would be a more sensible choice. Get a big, physical bruiser. I’m down the middle, idk….

mike ribeiro

multiple sources are reporting that the jackets might be in the market for mike ribeiro, who still has 3 years at $5 million a year left on his deal. They are in the market for a defenseman and I think we could help them out (klesla?). I’m guessing we’ll also need to either include our #4 pick or maybe they’re intending on using that to take a dman and wouldn’t want klesla. In any case, they have the #11 pick which could be an intriguing spot to pick up a center for the future (after all, ribeiro is 30). I for one, would be very interested in this, ribeiro is almost at the elite level of playmaker and can still put the puck in the net. While he doesn’t have ideal size, having nasher out there and someone like voracek or umberger should provide more than adequate protection.

by GatorOH on Jun 25, 2010 2:14 PM EDT reply actions  

I dunno, I think we have enough guys that are above-average-but-not-quite-first-line centers. If we are going to trade the #4 pick it better be for a guy that’s gonna be a big part of the franchise for a long time.

That isn’t to say I wouldn’t move a second (either one) and Klesla for Ribeiro.

Here’s a few predictions.

1) Howson will make a trade this weekend.

Since he’s taken over as GM, Howson has been willing to move back in nearly every round of the draft if it gets him a couple extra picks to use later on in the draft. I don’t know if the team will trade back in the first round (I get the impression that they’re pretty set unless an offer comes in that really blows Howson away), but a trade that perhaps moves the 55th pick for a pair of third rounders? Or perhaps moving our fourth round pick for two selections in the fifth round? I’d be shocked if it didn’t happen.

2) There will be players dealt, but Columbus may not get involved

With teams like Philly, Chicago, Boston, Calgary, and Detroit all running close to the salary cap while still needing to qualify and sign their RFAs, don’t be shocked to see several deals go down, either tonight or tomorrow, plus the repeated scenarios with Florida or Toronto moving players like Tomas Kaberle or Keith Ballard. But I don’t think the Jackets are willing to compromise what they consider their core players to make a deal – if the price gets too high, Howson will let someone else pay and he’ll try to find a better alternative.

3) Kiril Kabanov has a long night ahead of him

Kabanov was expected to be a top ten pick, back at the start of this year, and his star fell hard. The word is that he did a lot of work to reclaim some draft status at the combine between interviews and his workouts, but I still doubt he’ll be picked before the later end of the first round – possibly even staying on the board until tomorrow.

4) We’re probably wrong.

Just about everyone has posted a mock draft of some kind. Much like the NCAA tournament, there are a million guesses, and I can’t imagine anyone getting everything exactly right. The buzz seems to be that it’s Taylor, Tyler, Gudbrandson for the 1-2-3 picks, but even that could change – all it would take is one man changing his mind on the way to the podium, and everyone’s running to catch up. Don’t be surprised if a lot of the assumptions we’ve made end up worth even less than the electrons we printed them on.

Stereotypical, yes, but I would love for us to get a real top center in the few days. I think that there would be a heavy price involved, but that once the season started we would all be happy.

Center is, I think, more important now than a top 2 D-man.

by zekebud on Jun 25, 2010 4:05 PM EDT reply actions  

I agree with this. we have organizational depth at defense, i feel like we can get it done by committee. I do not feel that way at center. We have Brassard, who is very iffy at the moment, and Vermette, who is a bit of a tweener.

I love the Straka pick, you can never have too many skilled wingers. If Filatov is moved, Straka is his replacement.
