He was our 2012 1st round pick. But Holland in his infinite wisdom traded that away for Quincey. Anyone remember? Now look at that trade.

If you want to start a post titled "Jagr could have been a Redwing" that might be more interesting.
And Tampa could have had Filip Forsberg instead of Koekkek that same year at #10.
Yzerman is a bad drafter.
There aren't a lot of guys drafted from Vasilevskiy to Frk that I can look at and say, wow, we missed out.
Vasilevsky is one, but like everyone said, we weren't drafting him.
The guy who impresses me is Brady Skjei.
Maata would have been good, too, I guess. Jankowski is starting to look like a decent player.
But, but... Jagr preferred a team with a right-handed center... and then signed to Florida, which didn't have any. Shined well with Barkov (lefty).

Ha. that bugged me for years but then it came out that Jagr had basically made it known he'd only play with the Pens and wouldn't come to the NHL if drafted by anyone else. He rigged the pick.I was going back a little further.
Nolan
Nedved
Primeau
Ricci
Jagr
The pick I'm more upset about is Pavel Bure.
Wings had him on the board and passed on him in the fifth because they were told by the NHL commissioner that he didn't have enough games but then all of a sudden Vancouver was somehow able to the next round. It wasn't like the Wings wanted a guy and he got sniped. They HAD their guy available at their pick and were told they couldn't take him. ****ing NHL.
I still like Maata. At the very least I think he's a clear upgrade over guys like Jensen and XO.

If you want to get technical Mike Green could've been a Red Wing as well he was selected with our #29 pick in the Tomas Fleischmann deal for Robert Lang back in 2003 i believe and of course Jacob Chyhcrun in the Datsyuk deal who could've known
