I know their talent is at the forward position, but when your team is that bad, you draft the best player available. Plus it’s not like they were putting up a ton of goals this year or anything

I’m 25 minutes, door to door, to Nationwide when there’s no construction delays. You have drive 2 hours to watch the misery.

“Russian Player + First Round + Columbus Blue Jackets = End of Russian’s NHL Career!”

ala Zherdev, Filatov…

It’s unfortunate, but true… and I say this as a CBJ fan!

Really? 1988, you say? Hmmmm… I, ah, hope Edmonton does the right thing and trades the first pick to a team like Boston or Pittsburgh…”

Saying all the right things at least.

Edmonton has a bright future. Hard to manage in the salary cap era but, still, hope. Any team would be jealous for the young talent there.

No. 1 is No. 1. I don’t want to be second or third.”

Translation – For the love of God, don’t give Columbus the opportunity to draft me!
