Description

It is sad. CBJ have very bad luck in the draft lottery.
You are now entering the TWILIGHT ZONE.
Fantilli would be a nice consolation prize to Bedard.
The Jackets really have nothing to sell at the deadline now that Nyquist is out indefinitely.
Nobody will even want Korpisalo.
And they really need to sign Gavrikov to an extension for stability in the defensive corp.
Fantilli impresses and becomes #1C right out of the gate (pipe dream)
Roslovic continues to rack up assists, and finally starts scoring the puck more (longshot)
Sillinger escapes his sophmore slump, AND figures out how to take a faceoff (Jenner is his LW to take faceoffs just in case)
Voracek hangs the blades up on his own accord due to age and cobwebs in the ole melon, so no buyout or LTIR is necessary
Blankenburg climbs the corporate ladder and 2 Michigan boys play top pairing together.

No more wingers until they figure out who is going to fill the 1C / 2C role (effectively) long-term.
If no Bedard or Fantilli, they probably go with Leo Carlsson, his size and compete level are what the Jackets really are looking for.

I'm gonna be really sad if we have to watch another year of Roslovic getting top 6 minutes with 3rd line offensive results and 4th line defense.

I don't see Jake retiring and passing up $8.25mil when he can sit on LTIR and get paid and then retire after the season. It's not hitting the cap number either way, so he's going to collect his money.

Fantilli looks like he's going to be a very solid 1C. I'm still praying for Bedard though. I haven't seen Carlsson a ton, but I really like Smith and could see him working up to 3OA over Carlsson.
