As I mentioned in the previous post, one area I think Craig Patrick can have an immediate impact on is the NHL draft. Considering how high the Jackets will likely pick, Patrick can be a tremendous asset in this area alone.
Let's take a look at Craig Patrick's 1st round draft history for the Pittsburgh Penguins. With 18 picks under his belt alone in Pitt, it's quite the list to analyze:
1989 Entry 16 1 Jamie Heward 1990 Entry 5 1 Jerome Jagr 1991 Entry 16 1 Markus Naslund 1992 Entry 19 1 Martin Straka 1993 Entry 26 1 Stefan Bergkvist 1994 Entry 24 1 Chris Wells 1995 Entry 24 1 Alexei Morozov 1996 Entry 23 1 Craig Hillier 1997 Entry 17 1 Robert Dome 1998 Entry 23 1 Milan Kraft 1999 Entry 18 1 Konstantin Koltsov2000 Entry 18 1 Brooks Orpik 2001 Entry 21 1 Colby Armstrong 2002 Entry 5 1 Ryan Whitney 2003 Entry 1 1 Marc-Andre Fleury 2004 Entry 2 1 Evgeni Malkin 2005 Entry 1 1 Sidney Crosby 2006 Entry 2 1 Jordan Staal
I highlighted the booms in blue and the busts in red.

Brooks Orpik, Penguins defenseman, spoke to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, and had some interesting things to say about Jaromir Jagr.
"With that guy, you never know," defenseman Brooks Orpik said. "With his personality, I wasn't shocked that he went to Philly."
What? Can someone please tell me what that means? Is that a shot at Philly or Jagr? Or both?

Inconsistent - Flyers 3, Penguins 2
So what happened?
Crosby or no Crosby - the Pens have had two good indications over the past two games that they have some work to do if they want to be considered one of the top teams in the East.
The Pens started out well for the first few shifts, and then the wheels fell off of the wagon. By the time the wagon was repaired, the Pens were down 3-0 and had a hole to climb...
