I am surprised to see Button had him ranked at #11 at one point, and that he didn't go drafted. I thought he was great in tonights exhibition game and showed glimpses he could be an NHLer. Montreal sits at 48 contracts right now, hopefully they find a way to sign him.

Yea that was just dumb, he had a good u17s and Button likely saw that. Can't really blame him since its really hard to rank guys a year in advance , and its just his "players to watch for the draft after this" where he usually hasn't seen all the players or nearly enough of him, but still he never had that talent level.
Probably should have been picked though
Yeah, trying to have any sort of order to a draft 18 months before it happens is insanity. A majority of these kids have played 8 weeks of CHL or Major Junior hockey at that point, and most Euro's are in their U-18 or u-20 leagues. A guy like Patrick in that situation is a bit more predictable because he's a late birthday.
Even from the lists that get released every September which have significantly more info put into them we see crazy falls. I still remember Sokolov being a top 10 contender and not being drafted until the 7th. Similar situation with Nick Ebert. You can probably realistically expect about a 1/3 or 1/4 of Bob's and Craig's lists (let's cap Craig's at top 20 to be fair) put out this week won't be drafted in the 1st round.

If they sign him, he will be sent back to junior and would have an entry-level slide. He wouldn't count against the 50 contract limit until next season.

The RDS guys made this mistake too and I always find it strange when people do.
One's right-handed and the other's left-handed. It's easily the most instantly recognisable thing about any player.
You can be looking at a player from the front or the side and not get a clear view of their number. But their handedness is obvious from any angle.
I don't really pay attention to a player's handedness, but then again I could just be strange. I'd also be lying if I'd tell you I'd know which side Teasdale shots. Suzuki was also pretty invisible last night.

Yeah, basically.
There are only two possible options available. It's pretty much like knowing whether a skater is a forward or defenseman.

I have the same ability. I see a player once and I will never forget what hand he shoots with.
I have come to learn that that is a unique quirk of my (and your) brain.

Anybody knows why he was never drafted? In 2017, most pre-draft rankings had him drafted in the 3rd or 4th round.
I think many times it's just a victim of circumstance. There may be a bunch of teams who rate him in THEIR top 100 but by time 7 rounds are over guys they had rated higher on their list are still left in rounders 5, 6 and 7
He’s been a thorn in the Mooseheads side for years now. Very hard nosed hard working clutch player. Hate him but wish he was on my team. Deserves every accolade he receives. Congrats to him and the Memorial Cup Champs
