The mobility and puck skills the young guys have displayed are impressive. Even the "defensive" guys, like Morin and Willcox have made solid progress. I don't think there's been such a deep group of D prospects since the early 1970's for this team.

They've never had this deep a pool of D prospects. Its really remarkable how they've built this group over the last 3 years

This, that, a bit of Phillies, AMac, Vinny...

Haha, it took hours and my patience being tried until it couldn't be tried anymore, but I got there! Alcohol also played an important role.

Just another day in paradise

Medvedev, from everything I've read is no slouch defensively. But man, does he have some offensive skills. It wouldn't surprise me to see him by midway point become our best defenseman. Or he struggles to adapt. Hey, I like the risk/reward here

Certainly worth the risk of a one year deal. Worst case, he's likely a 4/5, best case, he's a #2. Looking forward to seeing him play.

Not sure how to feel about this new guy.

I love me some pastrami. I could get on board with this.

Pretty cool video, though. Shows Kekalainen and Davidson at the Jackets draft table. Got a call from Toronto, who was offering 4th overall for all three of CBJ's 2nd rounders. They refused. In the video, Kekalainen calls Ray Shero to see what it'd cost to move to 6th overall, and the price is 8th overall, plus their 2nd and 5th rounders. Kekalainen is intrigued, but only if Hanifin is still on the board.

Kekalainen gets asked why he doesn't call Carolina and says he did, prior to the draft and was told they had no interest in moving down, so he was waiting on them to see if he could do a deal with NJ. Hextall calls and Kekalainen can't hear him and goes to talk to him. He comes back and says that Hextall had an offer of the 9th overall, plus a 3rd rounder for the 7th pick, and Hexy was fishing to see if the Jackets were going to take his guy.

After Hanifin goes, the Jackets stand pat and watch Zacha and Provorov go, and they gladly take Werenski. According to Aaron Portzline, the excellent Jackets beat guy, they had McDavid and Eichel at the top of their list, followed by Hanifin and Werenski. During the video, Kekalainen notes the difference between the two for him is razor thin.

The Hextall stuff is around the 4:15 mark

Still not sure how to feel about this new guy.
