The Blue Jackets had an amazing draft with selecting Brule and got a good defenseman in McQuaid. My grade is an A+. U guyz mite think I say that because i'm a huge fan, but I'm being realistic. They got a very good c, which they needed, and got Defensemans in the next 2 rounds. That fills alot of spots. Every other pick was to give depth IMO.

Time will tell.
Have to remember, these are 18 year old guys. More than a few won't pan out. Big difference between where they were playing and the NHL.

I want all of the blue Jackets picks(who arent ready) to go to the AHL. They will learn and play with better prospects/people. They shouldn't hang out with the other teams besides the AHL teams.

I know Jack Johnson is goin to michigan, but I want hockey to be kinda like Baseball. The players have to go through all the systems to see if their ready. If they make it to the AHL, they can try out for the Blue Jackets in the offseason during training camp.

If they make it to the AHL, they can try out for the Blue Jackets in the offseason during training camp. these players are watched big time. Scouts galore. They know if they are ready most of the time. also not all players go directly to the NHL or other Major League Sports.....John Olerud for instance. Lots of players make the jump from AA Baseball to the Majors.

Good point. i'm goin to say that the top prospects can go and play on what team they want and when they think their ready, they can try out. I hope brule makes the team this year. That would be awesome.

All the scouts say he's ready. He and crosby r probably the most ready but I think he'll play 1 more year with the Vancouver Giants and then we'll see what he wants to do.
