Here is a number...24
That's the number of times NHL GM's passed on pastrnak. Including super scout Jim Benning twice.
So basically at least 80% of the NHL has poor scouting in your mind.
I was responding to a poster that asked "Does this mean we are going to hold onto our 2nd round draft picks again?" The word "again" would imply that we used to hold on to our 2nd round picks. I simply reminded him of the previous regimes handling of our picks. Try to keep up.
I heard Dallas used vancouver to lower the price on Russell and then circled back with an insulting offer of a 4th round pick at the last second. A 4th round pick in one of the shallowest drafts of all time is not worth being embarrassed and shown you are a pushover to the whole league. I would have hung up too.
I hope so!! That way we can draft the 2nd round gems that Gillis did.
Such hits as...
Yann Sauve, Anton Rodin and who could forget Alexandre Mallet.
Where are the other 2nd round picks you might ask? He traded 3 of them away.
