I'm a Detroit fan, but I'm just saying if Tyler Bertuzzi is on a list with players like Mack and Barkov he might as well not be listed, even if he is a huge riser in hindsight

I mean, if we're eliminating everybody who doesn't belong in the same tier as MacKinnon and Barkov, Jones would be the only other player in this poll...

I thought about that approach, but figured that after the first few therell be a ton a guys coming up and might as well already be on the lists, also allows oyhers to suggest others ive missed so by the times guys like Bertuzzi are considered there all there

Drouin was drafted 3OA? Yzerman sure fixed that mistake quick, didn’t he? Pretty good top 10, sans Drouin.

Morrissey is a guy you should have in the poll. Not that he’s gonna go in right away but I’d take him ahead of a lot of guys on the list already.

Drouin was probably the most skilled prospect in the draft at the time. He felt like a perfect fit going to Tampa to replace St. Louis on Stamkos’ wing

Agreed, but it’s seven years later. Re-draft with what we know know (I’m thinking that’s the point of this thread?) and Drouin is the man out of the top ten.

I know what the point of a re-draft is. You seemed shocked that Drouin was drafted so high, so I was just explaining that it made perfect sense at the time.

I think in most drafts there’s a player or two taken in the top three (or five) who we look back and wonder why. Drouin is clearly “that guy” in the 2013 draft class. It shows just how the drafting of 18 year old players can result in some terrible mistakes made in those top picks.

This vote is a formality.

He definitely was that skilled - like the most pure skill prospect in awhile - but it felt a bit odd Drouin (being a winger) going ahead of Jones.

Jones was neck & neck with Mackinnon all year, even ahead for a large part of if.

FLA taking Barkov was understandable as he had #1C upside too, but to pass on Jones for a winger, even one as skilled as Drouin.. Boy.

Although Tbay just won the cup with Sergachev, so can't knock em too much I suppose.

When Colorado won the lottery I was actually expecting them to take Jones 1st until they came out and announced they were going to take MacKinnon. At that point I expected Jones to go 2nd to Florida.

The only reason MacKinnon won is that Freddy Gauthier wasn't an option...
