If you go back and look a those old threads alot of our posters got it more right than wrong lol except when it seemed like a bunch of people really wanted Scroeder at 33. Props to Avsboy who was the only one who wanted ROR at 33 while everyone else wanted Shore and Roussel
Also what some folks thought of Tboobs being drafted where he was

haha Bender really disliked Barrie but amazing call on Vatanen. Props to bender on that one.
He absolutely roasted Barrie
I wasn't a fan of drafting two of the same defenseman right after each other, but I have learned over the years to never question a Kelowna Rockets defenseman.
Barrie, Edler, Gorges, Hannan, Keith, Myers, Regehr, Schenn, Souray, and Weber are some of their NHL alumni as defenseman. They're a factory up there
Hehe yeah, I certainly wasn't a fan of Barrie's back then. I've long since admitted my mistake and I love him now for sure.
I freely admit that I have a harder time with 2nd generation players, since I really believe that their road to get to where they are, is in most cases, made easier because of who they are, in my opinion. It's not always the case but a lot of times it is. So those players really need to win me over moreso than 'Joe Nobody'.
You can't win them all but you can hope to be more right than wrong.
