Tortorella's Rant Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 As many guys that we have missed out on, we also have some late round steals: Bieksa, Hansen immediately come to mind. But yeah, in comparison to the guys we did miss out on, we're getting killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40DollarOnion Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Draft busts, how about Vancouver wasting the second and third picks on those twins, Daniel and Henrik Sedin, we could have had Patrik Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUCKS4CUP 28 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I mean yeah, Alexandre Daigle didn't reach his max potential, but he still wasn't THAT bad of a player. 616 NHL games with 327 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck nit Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 This is going into year five of the Gillis.org regime and not one draft pick is on the roster or will make the roster this year,barring some lightening strike. Yes,Kassian is a trade for Hodgson but not a GIllis draft pick. His draft picks are missing at the NHL level to date.Did not help losing a first with the Ballard trade. Record kind of sucks.

Lychees Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Rage on, but Bourdon. I still can't believe we took him over Kopitar, as well as he was panning out but Kopitar was lookin mighty fine. C'est la vie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 By memory we relinquished Honzik's right's when his ELC ignominiously expired. Never played a big league game, never will. Seems like a bust? I was not up on "in" gossip when Umberger skipped town, forcing our hand. I hear on CDC it had much to do with Kesler? I wouldn't say Umberger is a bust. Why is David Honzik on that list? He hasn't even played a game in the NHL (let alone the AHL) and you're calling him a bust?? Typical CDC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Goodman Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I meant it was a bust for us because not only is the guy we picked not here anymore but we also could have had one of those other 3 guys on our team, not saying Hodgson is a bust or a bad player. But if someone said who do you want Hodgson or Eberle I'd take Eberle in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Versace ESQ Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The list would be shorter if we said which ones weren't busts. Drafting JJ Daignault (sp?) and him coming up to the podium on crutches has gotta be up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enterin Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 lol cool story bro, you tell me what's good about not even having the player you drafted and on top of that could have had one of 3 players just as good if not better. Hodgson is not a bust but he's not as good as people here thought he was, he had 41 points last year and he ended up playing 83 games. Eberle played 76 and had almost double that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 bourdon isnt a bust, that is just an unlucky disaster. i think he would have turned out ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks_qc Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Alexandre Daigle wasn't he that guy that Ottawa purposely lost games to draft but he ended up being one of the biggest bust in all time? As well for Canucks I think it has to be Patrick White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 At least we pissed off the whole league (they didn't think he was draft eligible) by picking Bure in the 6th(?) round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
