I say we offer the Blue JAckets.....Brewer and the 17th pick for the 16th pick, which we will trade back to them for keeping Brewer.

The Blues would probably have to sweeten that trade by throwing in their second-round pick and taking Brewer back.

Give them whatever they want to get rid of Brewer. LOL

So far, really not much of a draft for the Blues as far as name recognition goes. 

2nd round - Brett Ponich, 6'7" defensemen from Portland of the WHL.
(Morin, Budish, Lehner, Shore, Chiasson, Roussel, Werek all went in the 8-10 picks before ours.  Hanowski was still on the board.)

3rd round - Sergei Andronov, 6'0" RW from Russia.  Hooray.

4th round - Tyler Shattock, 6'3" RW from Kamloops of the WHL.  Maybe a budding power forward, which is good.  Some other good kids were out there, though...Nick Oliver from Minnesota, Edward Pasquale was a highly-regarded goalie prospect that went 9 picks after ours.

6th rounder is still coming up, but so far this draft is looking pretty underwhelming.

Final 2 picks (somehow we traded to get a 7th):

6th Round - David Shields, 6'3" D from OHL-Erie.

7th Round - Matthew Tardy, 6'0" C from Duluth East High School in MN.

Center??? WTF??? Don't we need some more d-men?

I trust Jarmo 185%.

It will be Jarmo's cup that we will be allowed to drink from one of these days.

over time i have learned that, past the first 2-3 picks in the draft, the pre-draft rankings mean jack shit.  none of the analysts know dick.  being disappointed because the blues drafted player A when players B, C, D, E, F, and G were still on the board means nothing when you have probably never seen any of them actually play.

I think Runblad is a great pick. He was all over people's rankings--anywhere from top 10 to 40-50. He's very good already, and playing 20m in the Swedish Elite League. He's young and playing against men already, ala Hedman--with more offense. I don't think this is a reach at all--someone else would have taken him in the next few picks.

Now, Ponnich does seem like a reach, but you can't teach 6'7. And again, "reach" doesn't mean much. ISS/Redline had Oshie ranked in the 100s. Still, when researching Oshie after that pick, it was all good things being said... Seems mostly negatives on on Ponnich, though. He can't skate, isn't great offensively. Isn't great defensively. Isn't agressive.

Thank you for bringing him out as Brewer's new protege.  I wasn't thinking that till now, but at least we have someone to blame when FuckHeadMurray and Brewer are gone. LOL
