Injuries derailed his career, it's really not that hard to explain. Def was a huge factor and his video game addiction probably grew while injured.

canuckwings Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 7 minutes ago, King Heffy said: It's a terrible pick given there were good forwards and defencemen who can play defence available. There's very little chance of ASP ever learning how to play defence well enough to have any place on a legit NHL roster. You can't fix a guy who is that much of a liability. I can agree that there are forwards available, but Yzerman probably chose positional needs after moving Hronek. I'm not sure who they would draft at D over ASP at that spot. I don't think there was another D discussed much aside from Reinbacher, Simashev, Willander and ASP? It's way too early to predict he's a bust in my opinion. I'm sure there'll be a Willander vs ASP thread opened and we can continue to discuss there lol. I would be more upset with the first pick if I'm a wings fan.

OJ’s lack of skating killed him. TW is already a superb skater. And by all accounts TW is a very dedicated athlete. Opting to goto BOS U illustrates that.

cripplereh Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Why are people comparing OJ with our pick. Years later game changed and ours is a RHD. No comparison different players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting with the painful OEL buyout. We have no choice but to just hope we're on the right track with this retool. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 9 minutes ago, Smashian Kassian said: Good pick. Michkov & Bonk is a nice haul Maybe, but Bonk is probably a 2nd pairing D at best and Michkov might not show up. Time will tell. I thought Briere would want to bring Philly some nasty snarl and size up front, but I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
