I cannot remember a single pick I have hated more than the Heard pick.
I wonder if we can add Conner bleackley to this list or whether that falls to someone else in the org.
Whats wrong with Conner?
Some say he's a bust.
I haven't heard as many bust quotes as it seems to soon to say, but everything I hear tells me that if we're lucky, he'll top out as a good 3rd-4th liner. What on earth are we drafting that in the 1st round for?
There's nothing wrong with getting a 3rd liner at the end of first round.I haven't heard as many bust quotes as it seems to soon to say, but everything I hear tells me that if we're lucky, he'll top out as a good 3rd-4th liner. What on earth are we drafting that in the 1st round for?
the bittersweet thing about Hishon is that if he never had that bad concussion, maybe he hits his potential as a poor man's Briere and averages ~50 points for Colorado. That could have pushed them higher up in the standings and the team ends up with, say, Schiefele instead of Landeskog and Horvat instead of MacKinnon, ensuring far more mediocrity without 2 of the 3 best players up front. So in a depressing fashion, the most beneficial part of the Hishon pick for the franchise was that he never actually produced anything.
