Carl's Jn Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Brandon Saad (born October 27, 1992)[1] is an American professional ice hockey player for the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL). Saad was raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and attendedPine-Richland High School. He is an American of Syrian descent.[2] He was drafted in the second round, 43rd . This is the reason why Benning is so keen on getting a second round pick.. not just to recover one but who knows we could end up with a player like Brandon Saad. Go Benning I trust you!

-SN- Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 That's cool and all, but you're just poaching a single good example among many failures. Obviously it pays of sometimes. That doesn't change the fact that 90% of the time it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Drafting WELL pays off. Developing well pays off. You can make late picks and even undrafted players and turn them into NHLers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl's Jn Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Wrong section?? not really... i put this in this section because of all the trade facts that benning is going after a 2nd rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Why draft at all?

TOMapleLaughs Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 fyi Saad should have been a 1st rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Subban was a 2nd, Keith was a 2nd, Weber was a 2nd? The list of great players goes on... Simon Hjalmarsson, Dan Spang and Cory Urquhart were all second round picks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Subban was a 2nd, Keith was a 2nd, Weber was a 2nd? The list of great players goes on... - Mayson Raymond - Alexander Mallet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackers Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 - Mayson Raymond - Alexander Mallet... To be fair, Mason is a solid nhl regular with over 500 games played. I would consider that to be a successful 2nd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Odd how you picked Saad and not Patrick Roy. EDIT: Roy was technically a 3rd rounder, but he was 51st Overall, so a 2nd rounder by today's standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
