Don't Hate the Drake: Drake Batherson selected in 4th round (121)

[Masked]

Batherson clearly has:
1) trained,
2) said his prayers,
3) taken his vitamins, and
4) been true to himself.

Lets just hope he doesn't get involved with shock jocks and their wives.

For many reasons - yes.

For "that" reason in particular - absolutely, yes.

I had never seen him play in junior but he was one of the most noticeable players all throughout rookie camp in the summer. I think he's got NHL player written all over him.

I think we should call him “Tattoo”.

Bad pick.

Bad post.

Bad post.

look at you digging through old hfposts on your sunday afternoons.

 

[Sens With Benefits]

He's lighting up the world juniors right now. Looks like a big steal.

Opp.

Just to cool peoples expectations, he's still a bust.

Well now we know what Batherson was doing when he was 14 years old.

I said way worse shit about Pittsburgh in that series and I was 18 at the time.

To waste your time bud.

"Bad pick"
Guy performs and exceeds 4th round value.

Jungle Boy....smh

 

[Langdon Alger]

Love the Drake

 

[Simplicity]

In a weak draft ...

No home run pick yet.

I think this is just a reminder that we need to calm down and realize the scouts know more than whatever we read of the internet or see on YouTube.

I'm so sad that I will never get back the 20 seconds I spent reading your post

In retrospect our scouting has not been that special. And I believe I alone or others could have done as well or better.
I base this on the history of my picks vs theirs. As well as Ottawa vs other teams.

Can he play for the Sens this year.? He has the same amount of goals in that tournament than Duchene has all year!

 

[Tuna99]

Credit Trent Mann and his staff, great pick. It’s like he got two 1st round picks with Batherson and Formenton

Back to back WJC with Ottawa sending the best prospects to the tournament.

Thats awesome- we all know what Dorion can do with two 1st round picks... The winning recipe is 2 x 1st rounders + 1B center = a different 1B center

This sounds like a fun game. I’m going to start keeping a spreadsheet of who I would take instead of the Sens pick and see how it turns out ten years later. This is me with like zero live scouting knowledge and in the later rounds Probably picking random people.
