The Islanders reportedly offered the Blue Jackets picks Nos. 4, 34, 65, 103, 125, 155 and 185 for just the No. 2 pick. That would have given the Jackets a total of 12 picks -- Nos. 4, 31, 34, 62, 65, 95, 103, 125, 152, 155, 182 and 185

What in the hell is in the water up there? That's a ridiculous trade. If I were Columbus' GM, I'd be afraid to take the deal. It's so bizarre I'd be expecting that Ashton Kutcher would be springing from the shrubbery at any moment to gleefully announce that I got punked.

Of the players we drafted, would any be assigned to SYR in the fall? I noticed that only two were 19, Richard and Gusev. Not knowing about Gusev, but would Richard be assigned or given a tryout in SYR?

None. Richard not eligible until 20. He was drafted out of Guelph.

Probably alright that way. Let the draftees develop on their respected teams and let our kids stay in Syracuse, since we had pretty damn good depth anyway, rather than forcing an unnecessary move.
