Jeff Carter

68th overall

Voracek was 22 at the time, was drafted 7th overall 4 years earlier and already had essentially two 50 point seasons in the NHL already.

Why'd the Jackets do that?

To appease disgruntled star player Rick Nash IIRC, who was getting frustrated with constantly losing.

Good example.
