Who would have drafted (2004 Edition)

Time for another @en4cer45 Blue Jackets draft poll!

This time we focus on the 2004 NHL Draft, this was the second of the 3 drafts i've gone to, it was held at the RBC Center home of the Hurricanes. If you ever go to the RBC Center 2 things to know, #1 they have nothing that can compare to our fantatsic Arena District (the closest resturant to the arena i remember is a Wendys a mile or so away). #2 You better be a Scorpions fan because you will hear rock you like a hurricane every chance they get, you also get to see Rick Flair everytime they score a goal (yuck).

Anyway back to the draft, the Blue Jackets originally held the 4th overall pick but good old Ex-GM Doug MacLean decided to swap picks with the host Hurricanes and they selected current Stanley Cup Cup champion and eventual trade bait Andrew Ladd leaving the Blue Jackets to select Alexandre Picard with the 8th pick.

Hopefully you know the drill by now select the player you think we should have selected or if you think Doug MacLean made the right choice. This draft is gonna be a tough one folks, theres a lot of busts in the 10 players you can choose from in this poll.

The first team abbreviation is the team that drafted the player; the second team abbreviation is the player's current team. Lifetime statistics are posted as follows:

Skaters: Position-Games Played-Goals-Assists-Points Penalty Minutes +/-
Goalies: Position -Games Played-Wins-Losses-Overtime Losses-Shutouts
