Ottawa picks Daigle and Pronger goes second.

And Daigle said, no one remembers who went second .....

But for those who I thought were head scratchers ....

NYI taking a risk and bypassing several higher rated D men for Reinhart, that hurt.
Boston compiling 3 straight picks (13/14/15), having Barzal fall into their laps, then skip on him 3 times in a row. Barzal was ranked 8th (ISS), how could they skip him.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Lots for Carolina but the one that comes to mind is 2008. Took Zack Boychuk one pick ahead of Erik Karlsson.

Rutherford tried to make up for it by drafting an Erik Karlsson of his own a few years later but he didn’t pan out.

 

[eternalbedhead]

2005-2013, and within 5 picks (original pick and position in parentheses):

2005:
James Neal, 33rd; Marc-Edouard Vlasic, 35th (Brendan Mikkelson, 31st)

2006:
Claude Giroux, 22nd; Semyon Varlamov, 23rd (Mark Mitera, 19th)

2007:
Max Pacioretty, 22nd (Logan Macmillan, 19th)
P.K. Subban, 43rd (Eric Tangradi, 42nd)
Alec Martinez, 95th (Justin Vaive/Steven Kampfer, 92nd/93rd)
Scott Darling, 153rd (Brett Morrison, 151st)

2008:
Roman Josi, 38th (Nicolas Deschamps, 35th)
T.J. Brodie, 114th (Ryan Hegarty, 113th)

2009:
Nick Leddy, 16th; Chris Kreider, 19th (Peter Holland, 15th)
Jakob Silfverberg, 39th (Mat Clark, 37th)

2010:
Brock Nelson, 30th (Emerson Etem, 29th)
Micheal Ferland, 133rd (Tim Heed, 132nd)

2012:
Andreas Athanasiou, 110th (Andrew O'Brien, 108th)
Connor Hellebuyck, 130th (Brian Cooper, 127th)

2013:
Oliver Bjorkstrand, 89th (Keaton Thompson, 87th)

 

[hohosaregood]

Sharks 2003 draft is pretty crazy to look at.
Milan Michalek 6th (Ryan Suter 7th)
Steve Bernier 16th (Zach Parise 17th)
Josh Hennessey 43rd (Patrice Bergeron 45th)
Matt Carle 47th (Shea Weber 49th)

Other than Suter/Michalek, it was pretty close to matching up on positional picks as well. That would be a franchise changing draft if it had happened.

 

[Spilot23]

The obvious one for the Sharks is picking Setoguchi over Kopitar.

I know it's way too soon to tell but also Meier over Rantanen.

 

[Juxtaposer]

I know it's way too soon to tell but also Meier over Rantanen.

I think Meier will surprise you, and I’m a bit skeptical of the numbers of a guy who plays exclusively next to
Mackinnon. And if there were anyone I’d regret drafting Meier over, it’s Barzal.

Either way, not really nice to gloat.

 

[Teemu]

In 2015, the Islanders drafted Ryan Pilon. Pilon retired before the next season even started, citing a loss of passion for the sport.

The next pick? Troy Terry. The next pick after that? Adam Gaudette.

 

[Heldig]

The number and talent of players Arizona passed on to take Strome is ridiculous.
That top 10 in '15 could be crazy and Strome would stand out like a sore thumb.

In the very next post you talked about hindsight. What gives? Strome was the consensus pick at #3. Arguable he could have gone 3, 4 or 5 in that draft. In hindsight closer to 15th.

 

[Spirit of 67]

In the very next post you talked about hindsight. What gives? Strome was the consensus pick at #3. Arguable he could have gone 3, 4 or 5 in that draft. In hindsight closer to 15th.

Not sure if it was here or in another discussion but I also said that it's up to the GM/scouting staff to know better and not make such mistakes. Anyone can use a draft ranking and select players.
And Strome had questions about him going into the draft. So it's not exactly hind sight with him.

 

[hb12xchamps]

2008 Washington selects Anton Gustafsson over Jordan Eberle. Gustafsson plays 0 career NHL games and 1 total game in the AHL.

2005 Washington selects Sasha Pokulok 14th overall. He plays 0 NHL games and spent a majority of his career in the ECHL/AHL. Guys after him include Hanzal, Rask and Oshie. They also select Joe Finley at 27 overall over the likes of Niskanen, Neal and Vlasic

 

[Heldig]

There are question marks about almost every draft prospect. You make it sound like the draft rankings are made up by fans. The professional scout services ALL had Strome ranked as a top 5 pick.

 

[StiffSquid]

Carolina Hurricanes:

Zach Boychuk picked 14th overall , just one player before Erik Karlsson. D'oh.

Nothing really for Winnipeg Jets 2.0.

 

[justafan22]

Korshkov over Debrincat thought not a fan looks awful for the leafs

 

[tony d]

These are always "fun"; Within 5 picks of Ottawa's 1st round picks (1992-2014)

1992: Stick with Yashin (2)
1993: Picked Daigle (1), should have went with Pronger (2) or Kariya (4)
1994: Picked Bonk (3), should have went with Ryan Smyth (6)
1995: Picked Berard (1), should have went with Redden (2) who they got a year later.
1996: Stick with Chris Phillips (1)
1997: Stick with Hossa (12)
1998: Went with goalie Mathieu Chouinard (15), should have went with Regehr (19)
1999: Stick with Havlat (26)
2000: Stick with Volchenkov (21)
2001: Stick with Spezza (2)
2002: Went with Jakub Klepis (16), should have went with Boyd Gordon (17)
2003: Went with Eaves (29), should have went with Eriksson (33)
2004: Went with Mezaros (23), should have went with Scheidner (26)
2005: Went with Lee (9) , should have went with Kopitar (11)
2006: Stick with Foligno (28)
2007: Stick with O'brien (29)
2008: Stick with Karlsson (15)
2009: Went with Cowen (9), should have went with Ellis (11)
2010: No first, our first went to St.Louis who traded David Rundblad for #18 which they used to pick Tarasenko
2011: Went with Zibanejad (6), should have went with Schiefele (7)
2012: Went with Ceci (16), should have went with Vasilevskiy (19)
2013: Went with Lazar (17), should have went with Mantha (20)
2014: No 1st went to Anaheim with Silfververg and noesen, Anaheim used the pick (10) to select Nick Ritchie.

 

[1865]

Our first round picks have always been pretty solid, the only one that comes to mind regarding us is 2006.

20 - Montreal - David Fischer
21 - Rangers - Bobby Sanguinetti
22 - Philly - Claude Giroux

 

[MarAlain MongYeo]

In 2007 the Kings took Thomas Hickey when they easily could have just traded back for a few picks and selected PK Subban and Jamie Benn

 

[Bordeleau Of Blood]

Picking 11th at 2015 draft Panthers wanted Mikko Rantanan, even trying to trade up a couple spots to get him. When he was still available with one pick to go, majority of mocks had the Avs takin Lawson Crouse, fans thought for sure they were getting Mikko.

Oh well.

Turned Crouse into low key one of the best trades this franchise has ever made.

Sakic said after that draft that he tried to trade up to 8 to make sure he got Raantanen. Columbus passed on making a deal because they were dead set on taking Werenski and didn't think he'd make it back to them at 10.

 

[cg98]

Carolina Hurricanes:

Zach Boychuk picked 14th overall , just one player before Erik Karlsson. D'oh.

Nothing really for Winnipeg Jets 2.0.

Jets traded up to get Stanley when Chychrun and Fabbro were still available. Missing out on Chychrun kinda hurt but who knows, only time will tell.

 

[SmellOfVictory]

Flames have been pretty good about this lately, but I think the most painful one is the 2nd round of 2011 when they took Tyler Wothersoon one spot before Nikita Kucherov (and Kucherov was a guy they were watching pretty closely for that draft).

 

[Section32]

Sather picked Bobby Sangunetti right before Claude Giroux.

Funny thing was Bobby Clarke wanted Bobby and didn’t seem to know who he was picking...

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Sather picked Bobby Sangunetti right before Claude Giroux.

Funny thing was Bobby Clarke wanted Bobby and didn’t seem to know who he was picking...

"Dammit they took the Bobby now we're stuck with some red-head, what's his name again?"
Montreal messed up more with this if it makes you feel better. That was their #1 center and French. Oops!

 

[lawrence]

non draft related, but Quebec once offered the Canucks a trade.

Offer was Joe Sakic for Trevor Linden.

 

[Jetsetter]

Jets traded up to get Stanley when Chychrun and Fabbro were still available. Missing out on Chychrun kinda hurt but who knows, only time will tell.

No Chychrun was snatched by Arizona just before the Jets drafted Stanley.

1	16	Arizona	Jakob Chychrun	D	Sarnia Sting [OHL]	109	9	22	31	57	2017-18
1	17	Nashville	Dante Fabbro	D	Penticton Vees [BCHL]
1	18	Winnipeg	Logan Stanley	D	Windsor Spitfires [OHL]

[ulvvf]

Not my team, but one of the biggest miss have to be when Boston had 3 picks in a row and the best available by far was Barzal, and they did not pick him or traded any of their picks. It is easy to be smart on hindsight or if you only have 1 pick and miss out. But they had 3 picks, and still didnt choose to pick the player that by most was consider at that time to be the best player available, and that would maybe have been fine if they would traded 1-2 of their picks, but they did not do that either. They could have traded with islanders and still have got their player.
