itsJULES Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I take a look at the draft history between the Canucks and Predators. The focus of this information was to discover which team had drafted more steady NHLers since Nashville’s inception in 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBernard Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I literally spent hours doing this 2 days ago lol. Not comparing these two teams, just on Wikipedia looking through Canucks drafts from 1995 on to 2011. More so to see how certain picks in certain spots became. Very interesting read when you compare though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madman Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 But nobody said Grabner and Hodgson were bad picks. Whomever you quoted merely pointed out that the others have panned out to be *even better*. And that's the bottom line when it comes to assessing draft picks: there's no point in talking about their "draft day potential" anymore because ALL the picks on draft day must have had SOME potential to be selected that high. It's how they eventually pan out that separates the good-drafting teams from the bad ones. Grabner had super-star potential, if he stayed with the Canucks and developed properly through our system he would have easily ended up to be a 30-40 goal scorer. Hodgson is a future point-per-game player, he possibly could have been next season if he stole ice time away from Kesler while playing with quality Canucks wingers on an offensive team. Instead he's burried on the 2nd line in Buffalo with average wingers and a poor offensive team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PUNJABI CANUCK Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I like Nashville's drafting - consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Meh, Nashville took Weber in the 2nd round (19th), behind TWO other guys, Konstantin Glazachev (5th) and Kevin Klein (7th). Is that skill in drafting, or just a case of third time lucky? regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfall Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Nashville is better at and has a need to develop young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lappykass Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Nashvilles drafting isnt as consistent as Detroit, but id say a little better then ours (at least their luckier) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.schroeder91 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Everything looks better in hindsight. No one knows if the same players would've bloomed into star players playing for other teams if they were groomed in a different system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 When all your players end up in Philly, then what difference does it make when you have good drafting? What, does everyone think Radulov's staying one second longer in Nashville than he has to? And how about Suter? Nashville is making a big push this year because doom is on the horizon. Cheers.

Edlerberry Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Why is Ryan Suter always Sutter and Shea Weber always Webber. Haven't people seen their names spelled out enough by now? regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I was more surprised with the Henrik Lundqvist one 7th round #205, talk about being lucky! I jumped the gun Pekka Rinne 8th round #258, very surprised by both these picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Well they also picked up Ryan Sutter with there first round pick that year, so... 2, top 2 defencemen in 4 picks is great, hell id take that anyday, also add in a solid top 4 defencemen. 3 of 4 picks panned out.
