Bob McKenzie says of Columbus, Edmonton, and Vancouver (3,4,5 in draft), the Blue Jackets may be the most likely to move picks. Bob says the feeling is that Columbus isn’t sold on Jesse Puljujarvi and would prefer a center

If that's true, pick 8, pick 39 and 2017 1st for pick 3.

I thought the same. But that's pretty much how it is with Jr.

That's a pretty steep price IMO to move up 5 spots.

This isn't like football though. The pick at 3 could be, and in my opinion is, exponentially better than pick 8.

Ya never know what happens on draft day bubba. I expect Murray to wheel and deal some.

I was bored and made an armchair GM. What do ya'll think?

Pujajvi is going to be good.

He isn't going to be Mathews or even Laine good though.

Sure we expect him to be better than who we draft at 8 but you're giving up picks in the future (2017) draft which will be needed to rebuild the prospect pool as well.

3 picks to move up 5 spots for a player that wont be in North America this year...

Too rich for my blood.

I really don't think there is much separation from Matthews, Laine or Puljujarvi.

Not sure. If you can I can't figure it out. Also odd that it doesn't have all the draft picks to trade and I can't figure out how to place a player in the other trade box

Oh I understand now .. You mean on Capfriendly. I leave that stuff for you guys

Not saying that you're wrong or that I am right but the scouts seems to think there's a good amount of separation from Mathews

I think there is clear agreement that there is a drop after Laine, and I think the majority opinion is that Mathews is a clear cut /head and shoulders better #1, but i think there are a few guys lately who have been saying Laine might be a better pick for a team (like the Sabres) who needs just a pure sniper as opposed to a great all around player

There has been no LeBron sucks talk today. Weird

I could very well be wrong, it's definitely my own opinion. Before the season, the talks were either Mathews or Jesse Puljujarvi as the first pick. As the season progressed, Laine joined them for the discussion, and just don't see what Mathews has shown, or what Puljujarvi hasn't shown to create this separation. I can see what Laine did to join them up there, but can't see what would have cause such a separation between Mathews and Puljujarvi, if that makes any sense.

Who is Matt 'Freakin' Ellis?
