Tkatchuk was clearly the player to pick. Benning saw OJ play in one tournament and overruled his scouts to pick him. Would have happened the following draft too with Glass over Petey if not for Linden. So, it was a terrible pick. Now let’s move on and post no more about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the muffins (like Princess Willian Nylander) suffer injuries like concussions. Every NHL player is one more injury from having no career. OJ has elite skill, size, and hockey smarts. He will be fine, and play great. Like most of your posts this aged like warm goat milk. So is OJ an elite player or was the pick terrible?

(oh yeah it was fun hockey no hitting or players serious) Decent player but not elite or best of the best (he got to go as a Canucks rep) I suppose 1 fun game doesn't define a career, but we had hope then for him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with a lottery system we still could have been both Tkachuk and EP, even after that with adding Miller, EP and Hughes and Demko, we are always at the bottom of the standing for top picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a weird year as all three picks went to teams with low odds, with Devils winning the lottery despite having the 5th best odds and Philly and Stars were too good to be winning the lottery that year. If we were lucky enough to win one of the 3 picks, we still don't have Petey. I doubt Benning drafts Petey 1st overall or even 2nd overall or even 3rd... I guess we could have ended up with Makar instead of Petey if we won the lottery though since Benning seemed high on Makar. But again, the odds were higher that we don't get a top 5 pick with Tkachuk. And maybe this is our year. Like the Devils in 2017, we get the top pick.

Is OJ still elite? Was he ever? Did Benning make the wrong pick or the right pick. Lots of confusion here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God dam it Benning why the hell would you take the best Dman in the draft over the 5th ranked forward?!?!? Typical CDC lol Great pick Benning now trade Edler for Jost!

Tkachuk wouldn't have likely affected our drafting of Petey. His 48 point rookie season wouldn't have moved the needle much, especially on a team whose highest scorer was Horvat at 52 points. Also likely he would have scored even less on that Vancouver roster. Certainly possible we could have lost out on Hughes, but then maybe we would have taken Dobson instead.

Phil_314 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Lol why are people still mourning over the fact that we drafted a bust? He's gone, move on, and if it helps, play GM Mode in an NHL console game and acquire one of Sergachev/ Chychrun/ McAvoy/ Tkachuk. Other than that, let it go folks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s sad for this franchise to been part of Utica with that shitty culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
