LOL....who cares..?? Yet another internet "tough" guy.....IMO I see the Sedin's as a bust because of their potential. When you look through previous drafts, a #2 pick should be a star player. Maybe not superstar but at least a star. Here are the top 5 picks for the 2 years, before the 1999 draft, and the 3 years after the 1999 draft.
2002
Nash, Lehtonen, Boumeester, Pitkanen, Whitney.
Outclassed by everyone except IMO Whitney.
2001
Kovalchuk, Spezza, Svitov, Weiss, Chistov.
Personally I would take any of these guys over either of the Sedins.
2000
DiPietro, Heatley, Gaborik, Klesla, Torres.
Here I once again I would take all 5 of these guys over the Sedins.
1998
Lecavalier, Legwand, Stuart, Allen, Vishnevsky.
Ok here I would take the Sedins over Allen and Vish.
1997
Thorton, Marleau, Jokinen, Luongo, Brewer.
Once again all 5 I would rather have than the Sedins.
Now here are 5 years of top 5 picks. IMO all but 3 players are better than either of the Sedin brothers. I have nothing against them, but IMO I consider them busts
IN COMPAIRISON to what they were hyped to be, and was drafted in relativly the same spots in other years.
