DAMN

Mike Halford ‏@HalfordPHT 23s
The Russian defenseman the Canucks just drafted is 6-foot-7, 230 pounds.

 

[DJA]

That was actually quite a fleecing of DET. A third round pick next year for moving back 13 spots (while keeping 2 3rds in this draft) is nothing to sneeze at.

 

[NotWendell]

We've clearly entered the complete crapshoot phase of this year's draft

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Okay. Even better .

Yep. 2 2nds, and 3 thirds. Our 2nd, TOR's 2nd, our 3rd, DET's 3rd, and PHI's 3rd from the Mason deal

I forgot about the 3rd from the Mason deal. Thanks. So, a good NHL team, good prospects, and extra picks. Sounds good to me.

 

[Jackets16]

Glover got picked. He was a guy I liked. I think he plays with Collins and is going to Minnesota too.

James Mirtle ‏@mirtle 1m

Hearing rumblings of potential Leafs deal. They're working on something (not picks).

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 39s

TOR has acquired Roman Polak from STL.

 

[Jackets16]

Brycen Martin just got picked. I was hoping we could pick him.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 7s

TOR sends Gunnarson to STL in exchange for Polak

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Elvis Merzlikins

 

[Fro]

Rob Mixer ‏@RobMixer 26s
Elvis Merzliknis goes to #CBJ at No. 76 overall. Product of the Swiss League.

another goalie in the system...goodbye Oulette for certain now

 

[Jackets16]

We just drafted a goaltender, Elvis Merzlickins.

 

[JacketsFanWest]

Elvis Merzlikins is a 20 year old, so it will be interesting to see how he plays into the current goalie situation.

 

[Fro]

NHL Blue Jackets ‏@BlueJacketsNHL 39s
#CBJ selects Blake Siebenaler of the Niagara Ice Dogs at No. 77 overall! #NHLDraft

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Blake Siebenaler

 

[Jackets16]

D - Blake Siebenaler

Interesting

 

[Fro]

it seems that there's not much out there on Elvis...so maybe a good pick, maybe a head scratcher????

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Color me disappointed with the goalie pick, but we'll see I guess. Wonder if we sign him right away since he's 20 and play him in ECHL. I like the Dman though

[NikF]

Siebenaler might be a steal. He's just scrapping the surface and he has one of the best strides I've seen on a defenseman. If he continues his progression this has the potential to look like a steal.

I like this bit:

Szymon Szemberg @Sz1909_Szemberg
If u thought Gudlevskis was good, you haven't seen Elvis Merzlikins, 19, playing for Swiss HC Lugano. Pencil him in for Pyeongchang2018.

 

[Crede777]

Siebenaler is from Toledo and played a good amount in Cleveland.
