You voted Reinhart as a bust. You pumped up the Nylander pick more than anyone for #8 in 2016, and mocked people who wanted Serg.
Can you tell us what your crystal ball says about the 2018 draft?
Def not a bust but I think he hasn't been as good as I'd like a 2nd overall pick to be...that being said he's come a long way and I think he'll be one of the best players on this team if/when we are ever good
@OkimLom he should be better than the guy who was taken at 3. Or the guys who went 8th and 9th. But so far, he's not
**Sorry for not quoting, the quote tool has been super glitchy for me lately
Still think that with all that bicycling, he's more about the legs than the bust.
To still focus years later where he was drafted, and view him through that prism is kinda ignorant
You obviously stole this line from a 1950s borscht belt act
@OkimLom Do you think that Draisaitl Ehlers and Nylander are ahead of Sam at this point in time? If you don't then I will have to respectfully disagree.
Yea they have better teams around them, but that doesn't make up for the fact that Draisaitl Ehlers and Nylander are straight up better hockey players than Sam so far in their careers.
Eichel/Hedman/Laine/Barkov/Seguin level players are how good I wanted a #2 overall pick in Reinhart to be. He's not even close to that, and that's part of the reason why we are where we are.

I voted Reinhart as a bust as in relation to his draft position... little different from just labeling him a bust. I've always maintained he was a good hockey player.
I don't recall being all that hyped about the Nylander pick tho I was certainly happy with it. Don't recall mocking people for wanting Serge either.
I do recall wanting the best player available...not just a dman..
But if you pay attention to my posts that closely you probably also should know not to take my prospect opinions all too seriously as I always admit I don't watch college or juniors so my viewings of the players are limited
But to answer your question about the 2018 draft. Dahlin =)
And 2nd overall busts like Reinhart who turn out to be "nice" players.
I'm done with that bum. Trade his ass for scraps
You don't think your ideas are slightly contradictory?
Doesn’t he have more points then anyone in the draft besides draisatl and pasternak
Oh what?
