Quick, change his name to Brad-Eric Jackman :okman:

Wondering if Vancouver has sights on Jax. However, Blues need something in return (not a draft), the defense is very thin already. Maybe there is a 3-way deal somehow.

Petro - Cola - Polak - Nitikin - Shatty - and then Strachan or Cole....Yikes.

Vancouver would have to send someone back (or they would have to send someone down) because they are against the cap.
But the Blues would need a dman coming back. Vancouver wouldn't do that.

Jackman has a full no trade clause and made it known yesterday that he would not waive it. At least according to Darren Pang via some guy on Blues Talk.

Sorry I don't share your high regard for Jackman, but considering how bad he's been the step down can't be that far to Cole or anyone else.

It's not that f*&%ing hard to stand there and watch your opponent put the puck in the back of your net.

The only thing Cole would have to work on is punching guys AFTER the official gets between them.

There you go, that wasn't too hard. It's very well-known you hate Jackman, so a flippant comment doesn't really add to the discussion. Now if you could have said, "I'm ok with it because Cole can take his spot and learn."

I question whether Cole is ready and if his development could get hurt. In the meantime, we can look forward to Strachan misreading plays and giving pucks away while Cola gets run over and lays on the ice.

Yeah, figured he might waive it for Vancouver since he is from the area, but it would take a roster player coming back to the blues.

It's a win for the Blues because I didn't think anyone would take a bite at Winchester.

I look at it this way: If Winchester was 18 years old this summer, where would he be taken in the draft?

The answer is later than the 3rd round. :letsgoblues:

Good move, surprised the Blues were even able to get that high of a draft pick for him.

Army is really cleaning up this team. This season's roster was basically the same exact roster last season, but next year we are going to look different.

I still don't like the Boyes trade. He adds scoring depth to the team, but oh well.

Considering he was a first rounder last time they judged him at that age, I'd say he'd be a first rounder. He was an inexpensive player that had size and some scoring touch. He won't be easy to replace at that cost.

My feeling is they just made room to make the offseason contracts they need to do with RFA's. I think they are taking a lesson from the Blackhawks, sign up your core group of guys and then fill in from there. Will be smart depending on money and length of contracts given. they have 5-6 guys to get signed before the season or look at trading some next year at this time. Oshie,Berglund, Dags, Bishop and sobotka all need to be signed if they intend to keep them for a few years. They have next season to see how Perron responds after his concussion.

Considering Fredrik Modin (5 years older though) went for a 7th rounder I'd say we got a pretty good return for him.

I have a recap of the day up on the front page if anyone is interested.

Winchester was drafted in the 2nd round (35th overall). Either way good move for the blues, i was thinking they would be hard pressed to get anything better than a 6th round pick for Brad.
