I have been thinking about this Logan Brown-Columbus connection thing and I think maybe we have been looking at it wrong about them trading down. Maybe instead they are looking at trading for #4 as well. Columbus are going to have to expose some good D in the expansion draft if they don't do some trading. Edmonton is looking for a top end D man for that #4 pick. It has been reported many times that the Oilers scouts liked Murray in his draft year #1. So how about the Jackets trade Murray to Edmonton for #4? The Oilers get their young D man who can step in now and has the tools to become a solid #1.
The Jackets can then take Puljujarvi and Brown 3 and 4. This would also benefit the Flames as a side note as the Canucks would almost certainly take Dubois or less likely a D man and that drops Tkachuk right in our lap at 6.
