Columbus Blue Jackets extend official trade offer for fourth overall pick
Anticipation builds for the NHL Draft, with Columbus showing aggressive moves in the hours leading up to the event to shop their top pick.
After a grueling Stanley Cup Playoffs, the off-season has begun, and the first round of the 2024 NHL Draft is scheduled for Friday night in Las Vegas. Anticipate fireworks and surprises in the first round, with a potential major move already in the works before the evening kicks off.
Elliotte Friedman reported in his 32 Thoughts podcast this morning that Columbus wants both #Flyers first round picks and the Colorado first next year for the 4th overall pick.
The offer was «too much» for Briere, but the teams are expected to speak again today.
Friedman believes Philadelphia isn't the only team interested in #4 and guesses it's Carolina with Martin Necas involved.
Elliotte Friedman's latest report highlights a potential blockbuster trade involving the Columbus Blue Jackets and the No. 4 overall pick, with significant interest from the Philadelphia Flyers and Carolina Hurricanes.
The Flyers approached the Blue Jackets, who made a substantial offer: they requested three first-round picks from Philadelphia, including this year's and Colorado's pick next year. As of now, Philadelphia has not accepted the offer, but discussions could continue up until the draft, suggesting a different team might end up making the selection at No. 4 overall.
