is it though
do faceoffs matter
Certainly better than losing 16 of 19. Not very often you see someone get a 75+% faceoff game.
Not our prospect anymore but Prapavessis looks very good for Columbus. Looks like a NHLer out there and has been quarterbacking their top PP unit
Outside of Nyberg it's worst draft ever.2014 Draft

On draft weekend I noted that our scouts ****ed up big time by taking all these defensemen. I was so sour about it. They spewed this nonsense that if a forward and a defensemen were seen as equal, they always rate the defender higher. It certainly worked out.

He wasn't very good in his career so far. In the ECHL last season he wasn't exactly doing well anything. In general that 2014 draft for Dallas was a huge waste. Honka and i think Nyberg are the only two still in the Dallas system . Not sure how that even happens to have a draft that horrible.
Polluck we traded and he looks very mediocre for the Flames AHL team . Nobody else was even close to beeing signed . Some of them we just let go one or two year after beeing draft.
Just horrible year for Dallas.
2014 was an extremely weak year for most teams. After the first round only Montour, Dvorak, Point, Arvidsson, Heinen, Lebanc, and Kase are the only players who look like legit NHLers in rounds 2-7. 180 picks and only 7 NHL players. Makes me feel less bad about that draft.
Just give it a bit for any late bloomers but we can count on squandering our picks
That draft had 1 NHLer for us and 3 AHLers. We used one of them in a trade, an other didnt pan out in college but after a look with an NHL team landed an ELC and the last is Nyberg. Sure its far from a homerun draft but seeing how the 2014 draft looks as a hole its not that badOutside of Nyberg it's worst draft ever.
