That was the last draft for GM Holmgren.

Rd 1 #11 OA: A giant (6'6") defensive dman Sam Morin
Rd 2 #41 OA: A big (6'2") defensive dman Bob Hägg

Random but Nasty Knuckles just had Morin on yesterday to talk about being a development coach. Spent a few minutes saying that big boy defenders/forwards are highly coveted again now after Vegas won.

Homer was clearly so far behind that he was ahead (according to them)

Never forget that team blows the entire season and then gets 12 out of a possible 14 points the last 7 games to destroy their draft position.

Having debates over top prospects for that draft with like 2 weeks left in the season.

Bottom 6 teams going into the last 2 weeks of the season
Colorado 32 pts (Finishes with 39 pts, 2nd worst wins lotto)
Florida 32 pts (Finishes with 36 pts, worst team. Picks #2)
Calgary 34 pts (Finishes with 42 pts, picks #6)
Carolina 34 pts (Finishes with 42 pts, picks #5)
Tampa 36 pts (Finishes with 40 pts, picks #3)
Flyers 37 pts (Finishes with 49 pts, picks #12)

Contrarians think this was a good thing.

The Goulbourne pick is still hilarious and sad.

Yeah, within the next 10 picks after Goulbourne were selected Buchnevich, Guentzel, Duclair and Verhaeghe

This hurts lol imagine the things that could have been. like picking german rubtsov over tage thompson a few years later. hextall was a special breed of stupid.

This is such a pathetically copycat league. Every year, something like 2/3 of GMs frantically chase after whatever thing they use to define the winning team. Rapidly changing priorities year to year if need be. Smart teams have no shortage of dumbass, shortsighted, reactionary teams to prey upon.

Also it's funny that in the later rounds Danny went the same route selecting in the 5th and 7th rounds two huge defensive dmen Sotheran (6'3") and Mann (6'6")

Very obviously Size Queen Flahr's picks

 

[FLYguy3911]

Sotheran has some underrated skill but I'm sure that wasn't the selling point.

6'3 isn't very big anymore. It also helps that Sotheran is a mobile and capable skater.

Never forget the defense iced for the last game of the season

...naturally, the Flyers won

Based on the logic employed years ago, that is proof Konan was better than Timonen

Within 3 seasons, Matt Konan was in the ECHL and within a season after that, completely out of the league.

He’s still only 31 years old.
