Question: Why would the Ohio Junior Blue Jackets not draft from the 3rd-10th round?

Like John Taveres would ever step foot in Indiana....PLEASE!

Ohio had traded away quite a few picks early in the year acquiring veterans from other USHL clubs. Once a team reaches 23 on their protected list, they have to stop drafting and wait for the remainder of the teams to get to 23 before they can resume drafting.

Indy drafted Tavares just for fun, those picks 23-30 are pretty much a waste anyways...sometimes a guy will make it, but mostly it's just to make sure the kid comes to their camp.

kristof....totally inaccurate, being drafted does not guarantee you a spot on the team. I also know first rounders that didnt make the team and know for a fact Cedar Rapids had 6 undrafted players rostered last year.

John Tavares has visited Indy...Before he made his choice to go OHL.I doubt he would come here, but what the heck.

there was a lack of goaltenders taken in this draft.. i wonder why? usually there are 1st round goalie picks but they waited until the 4th round to pick a Maine recruit. i don't get it

re: the draft results from past years...

I am currently putting together a spreadsheet of the draft results I have from 99-present. Should be posted at a later date on my blog.
