CBJ select Luca Pinelli with the 114th overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft
The Blue Jackets have made their fifth selection of this draft at No. 114 overall (fourth round).
Luca Pinelli is a Blue Jacket! He's a center from Ottawa of the OHL. #CBJ

Kid is ranked in the double digits of the draft by nearly every major draft board. His lowest was in the 80s by a couple pundits.
Could be a later round steal if his development goes well. Lots of smaller high-upside forwards that to me indicate we’re drafting with more analytical consideration.
Jarmo liking his smol bois
Obviously it seems we are picking guys with high upside, but a little concerning that they are all undersized. I’m assuming that is what is contributing to them being available
same birthday as me so im now hoping for greatness and expecting letdown (like me)
​
(I hope im wrong :D)
Welcome Luca🤌
Why’d he drop so low? First round pick in every franchise mode I play lmao
Homeboy legitimately looks like a middle schooler…
