Honestly I'd reach for Cole Eiserman , it's not like any of these guys outside Celebrini or Demidov are making the team next year, they will need time to develop.
Jackets should trade #4 to the Flames for #9 and #41. Still getting a good player at 9 and an extra pick at 41. Flames would be able to take Tij at #4 and keep the Iginla tradition in Cowtown. Plus who doesn’t want to see a teary eyed Jerome standing at the podium calling out his sons name.

They can potentially get Iginla at #9 and keep the additional pick.
IF, and a big IF, I'd consider moving down from #4, I'd approach Ottawa. They have #7 and Boston's 1st rndr.
Then one of Lindstrom or Eiserman should be available at 7, and use Boston's pick for a D player. It would also help from losing our 2nd round.
Don't follow the prospects a ton or anything but from everything I've read it sounds like Eiserman is the kid to take if he's available at pick four. - JetFuel
For some reason Eiserman has dropped, he’s not going top 4 unless somebody screws up.
