If we are going to play the shoulda game then giving up the 2008 1st is exponentially more egregious.
Didn't it end up being Luca Sbisa thoough?
Lol

It did. Good heavens is he ever a bust. It's ironic that Philly actually dealt him as part of the package for Pronger and might've still ended up the loser in that trade.
I seem to remember reading from Dater that there were actually some egregious conditions on that trade which almost cost the Avs their 1st the following season, which might've meant that Matt Duchene would've been a Blue Jacket (which ironically may happen anyway ).
I dunno...in hindsight that deal was indeed foolish, but it brought Foote back into the fold for a unexpectedly good playoff run. Everything fell apart the following season of course, but mainly because Giguere was kind of an idiot and made a series of ridiculously bad moves.

Would have lost the '09 first rounder if we didn't make the playoffs.
Yeah, I'm guessing Pracey would've opted for Tom Wilson. Didn't he always draft from the OHL and WHL only?
Speaking of MHH Here's a bump courtesy of them.

I like this piece. Yes, it's a little stats-heavy, but the premise is this: It wasn't Bednar's system that sucked, it was the players. In this case they're talking about the PK, but I think you could apply that to more than just special teams.
