I just don't think the players involved in the trade warrant a jump up into the Top 12 of this draft.

If the jackets dropped out of say the top 7 to 19 then I would be WTF, but drafting is such a crap shoot for the most part what odds if a team drops 7 spots, maybe they are eying someone who will still be available then.

In short - meh.

Just wanted everyone to see that Martin Jones is on Team Canada's summer camp for WJHC, one of four goalies; Hackett, Roy, Allen, and Jones. Not bad eh
