20-21 Season Tank Thread: The playoff and tank dream is over
2019 was not the year eitherThe 10th spot is literally cursed. 1 good player gets picked at the spot every decade or so.
ThisFor some perspective, here are the last 15 9th overall picks:
Sheppard
Couture
Bailey
Cowen
Mikael Granlund
Hamilton
Trouba
Horvat
Ehlers
Meier
Sergachev
Rasmussen
Kravstov
Zegras
Rossi.
At 9 your chances of getting at least a top 6 F/top 4 D are really good. Picking a Myers-like-player at 9 wouldn't be a bust. But, I would be disappointed unless all the players taken around him busted.
Demko sees our tank thread and says:
Oh I'd never actually blame a player. They should always want to win. I can never actually get angry at anyone for not losing. It just sucks.Blame management and coaching. They don't even bother starting Holtby in garbage time.
