Also added who that first ended up. 3rd overall. Glen Wesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s saying something. No it won't. And who knows exactly which player management would have chosen if they retained the pick. It's much ado about nothing.

The list goes on. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan over one of the Sedins, etc. How many teams passed on Pastrnak? We did twice. Too many examples. It can be, and definitely is a crapshoot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and on the flip side we have EP and QH (who may end up being our franchise’s best ever Dman) thanks to JB’s drafting. Two elite players that other GMs also passed on. definitely goes both ways and can be a crapshoot, and is also entirely dependent on what factors affect the drafted player in their own development. I don’t have too much of an issue with JB’s drafting…it’s the lopsided record of negative over positive when it comes to trading and UFA signings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and for the record, I'm not some major JB fanboy. I'm talking about choices many GM teams have made throughout the history of any pro league, as an example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how we use the Juolevi card only when it's convenient, when the Canucks pick this draft looks like he's headed the same trajectory as Juolevi. Let's face it if Guetnher was a Canucks most of us would be exited and saying he's oozing potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
