2017 Re-draft #1 Overall

[AvsGuy]

only lol here is for you necro bunping and thinking you’re clever

When you don’t realize you’ve only made yourself look sad.

Sad is calling a year-old assessment of a player a "necro bump"

You don't even have to dig up a decade old thread and tell everyone to suck it - a year ago people were calling Petterson an elite 1C - he wasn't then and will be lucky to hit 40 points this year

Damn, those Liljegren over Petterson jokes were closer than those guys thought lol

 

[Favin]

Top-3: Makar, Hesikanen, Pettersson
Next-4: Hischier, Suzuki, Necas, Thomas

The 2017 draft was certainly unique that the top of the initial draft boards were really, really off.

At this point in that cycle, this was the consensus top-20 (and few others):

1. Nolan Patrick
2. Timothy Liljegren
3. Eeli Tolvanen
4. Casey Mittelstadt
5. Maxime Comtois

6. Kristian Vesalainen
7. Nico Hischier
8. Gabriel Vilardi
9. Klim Kostin
10. Owen Tippett

11. Kailer Yamamoto
12. Lias Andersson
13. Elias Pettersson
14. Martin Necas
15. Cal Foote

16. Michael Rasmussen
17. Nicolas Hague
18. Juuso Valimaki
19. Nikita Popugaev
20. Ryan Poehling

26. Miro Heiskanen
40. Josh Norris
41. Nick Suzuki
70. Jason Robertson
86. Cale Makar
89. Robert Thomas

Wanna bet?

 

[M2Beezy]

Liljegren

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Makar

 

[Plural]

Makar for me, followed by Heiskanen. Clear top-2 right now.

 

[CanadienShark]

I won't change my vote. Not because I think I was correct, but because I want to own my mistake. Makar is the best now and for the foreseeable future.

 

[Regal]

I love all the mouth breathers coming out of the wood work trying to claim that a crappy season somehow negates what Pettersson did his first two years and that they were somehow “always right about him,” when, regardless of any overrating might have happened, he undeniably was playing like a top line center in 2020. It doesn’t make you look smart for “being right”, it still makes you look like an idiot for a stupid opinion at the time.

 

[Mobiandi]

This is Heiskanen by an absolute mile

 

[wetcoast]

Wanna bet?

It's a sad fact that 1/4 way through the season that it's even possible that EP40 might not break 40 points.

I wonder if you are willing to take the over on 50 as he just hasn't played well at all this year.

Sure he should snap out of it but heck us Canuck fans have been saying that for 15ish games now.

Actually Makar then Miro is a solid 2nd, everyone else will be in a chase for #3 spot.

Exact same shit happened to Nylander after he sat out until december and followed it up with a poor season, point wise. Then he became the "must trade" player (which some people have been trying to say about Pettersson, though not to the same degree yet), then slowly hes worked his way back up to being well respected because his life is dope and he does dope shit.

 

[Namikaze Minato]

I'm not fully convinced Makar does stay the better defenceman between him and Heiskanen throughout their careers but its hard as f*** to argue with the results of the guy right now.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Lol I had to do a double take and realized the thread was necro’ed.

Some people have too much time on their hands.

 

[Tweaky]

Wanna bet?

Personally I think he will rebound a bit and break 40 pretty easy. 50 maybe not. At least not until Green is gone.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

I wanted makar in that draft.

 

[TheNumber4]

Makar. Surprised Pettersson is getting so many votes, he’s showing to be not built for the League and have to have emotional issues.

Thread is over a year old. Pettersson was coming off almost ppg season. He's had a rough year since then.

Makar

oof this is an old thread lol
