Ballisticsports. Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) So I am watching the Oilers play right now and decide to google who the Oilers could have drafted instead of RNH and other 1st picks and then i look to see who we were drafting with being one of the best in the league drafting at the bottom of each round and so many underwhelming players even drafted before us, is it any wonder why we weren't drafting well in those drafts. The flipside is we were winning and almost won a cup. It was such a fun time being a Canuck fan, but would anyone here have blown up the team in 2008 with a chance to draft in top 10 till 2013 ? We never had a 1st overall but we always were lucky with late round picks, trades and unsigned players. We are in our longest drought ever being at the bottom, but am looking forward to what is ahead 2008 1 Patrick Kane (RW) United States Chicago Blackhawks London Knights (OHL) 2 James van Riemsdyk (LW)

In this hypothetical, hope we didn't bottom out in 2012. That being said, knowing the Sedins I doubt they'd ever tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU SERIOUS Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Wow, did you really need to remind us how bad our drafting has been for decades ! We could have figured that all out on our own after missing the playoffs for the umpteenth year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticsports. Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 What i got from it was for 5 years (09-13) and 30 Teams picking the returns of players was not all that great for many teams, not just us I just hope if the Canucks ever get a 1st overall pick it isn't like 2012 or other bad ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erkayloomeh Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Looking through that list the one that really hurt for me was Nic Jensen. I thought he had alot of skill, but was a lazy ass. I hate that. The others I think at least tried to become something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 The time to blow it up would have been before we re-signed the country club - especially the Sedins, but probably including a couple others too. Instead MG rewarded the troops and kept going. Not before we had our fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
