[EspenK]

carlo replaces hamilton

 

[ClevelandJacketFan]

Bittner! Yes!

 

[DJA]

of course, NHL Network goes to commercial for our pick .

 

[Jackets16]

YES! We took Bittner.

 

[NotWendell]

Me too, although I'm sure for different reasons

Edit: Would LOVE to see Bittner here.

Your wish is fulfilled.

 

[Jackets16]

Man, Jarmo and our staff are so good at drafting.

 

[ClevelandJacketFan]

We should have a Winterhawks line.

 

[Jackets16]

We are getting a lot of guys with size who can skate. I like it.

Compared to Scott Hartnell, favorite players are Getzlaf and Rick Nash (according to his NHL.com profile)

Bittner will fit in perfectly here. He's a big guy, plays a wonderful power game, great skater, future powerhouse forechecker. He fits the type of style we will play. Plus, you know, the connection with Oliver as a former linemate.

Edit: Take a look at this:

[NotWendell]

For maybe the first time, this looks like a REAL NHL organization.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Love the Bittner pick. Think he'll be a good middle 6 winger for us.

Rangers acquire Emerson Etem in exchange for Carl Hagelin. Picks also involved. Speedy trade.

Yeah. Interesting change of players. Could be good for both.

 

[Jackets16]

For maybe the first time, this looks like a REAL NHL organization.

So, let's trade all our young guys for a couple old defensemen.

 

[WannabeFinn]

of course New Jersey takes the top ranked NA goalie

 

[Fro]

WTF is ANA up to??? they're flipping over that roster for some reason...

Paul Bittner's reaction to being drafted by #CBJ?

"Excited as hell. You only get drafted once. This is great."

 

[WannabeFinn]

Bittner is gonna be a huge mother f***er in the NHL. Wouldn't surprise me if he's just shy of or the same size as Lucic when his time comes.

Yeah. They must be really upset they couldn't get to the next level.
