I would be very upset as a Jackets fan about this draft. The Jackets taking Simon Edvinsson while William Eklund is still on the board is blasphemy. The Jackets need to stay away from Chibrakhov. He is too close to a Nikita Filatov type player.

As another CBJ fan I disagree. Although I think in this scenario I’d rather have Chayka than Chibrakov, I fully support Edvinssom over Eklund. Give me the steady D man that can help our goalies. We have no D prospect depth…

Edvinsson is a very low floor player. We have to get a very good player at 5. We can’t take chances on a guy who has a huge bust potential. Eklund is by far the better pick. He has flexibility to play center or on the wing. The Jackets do need players in the pipeline but this is the one pick we HAVE to hit a home run on.
