Vegas drafting has been awful but pretty much all of Dallas’ top talent was found in two drafts. Hintz in the second and maybe Harley mid first are the only picks really making an impact with this team. The ‘18, ‘16 and ‘14 drafts are particularly awful and they need Bourque to be someone to salvage the ‘20 draft.

Most teams don't get quality players every year from the draft.

It's super hit or miss, especially when you don't have a 2nd or 3rd round pick like the draft you are bagging on in 2020.

I think you have a warped view of what good drafting looks like.

Hint: It's mostly misses.

How is this thread being hijacked by the literal one person in the hockey world who is criticizing the Stars draft history right now?

Honestly I gave up trying to reason with him and am now convinced he's just being a contrarian. :laugh:

Hopefully.

Tonight would be a great time for that to start.

Dallas crushed a draft in which they won a lottery (#3 - Miro, then Otter and Robo) and then another when Covid had everybody in a tizzy (Johnston @ 23 and Stankoven in rd 2). Dallas has been a playoff team 5 of last 6 years; its tough when not getting a bunch of top 10 picks. Getting a player like Harley or Bourque in the first is fantastic, and I personally like Dellandrea albeit a little underwhelmed. Farabee or KMiller wouldve been bettee, but alot of names I still don’t recognize

Top line is 2 drafted players and a FA
Second line is a trade and 2 FA
Third line which has been our best (Benn, Johnston, Stank) is all drafted
Fourth line has Dellandrea and/or Faksa, both drafted

3 of the top 4 defenseman are drafted (Tanev via trade)

G is drafted

Dallas played a solid home game. The Otter thing, a bit too much; like really.

Don't see the motivation from VGK. Complacent. You brought a bunch of injured/newbies and put them together, with a squad that JUST WON the Cup.

I could care less about who deserves what. Just my observations.

That was some absolutely incredible hockey on both sides in the 3rd period. Two obvious heavyweights going at it.

Dallas had about as perfect of a team defensive game as you could ask for in that 3rd.

So f***ing stoked to go up 3-2. Feel like this team can take on anyone right now.

This has to be one of the better series in recent memory. Every game has pretty much been one goal games and so even.

As much as I'm enjoying this series, i'm ready for it to end Friday :)

The two games that weren't one-goal games both ended with empty netters. So your observation is correct in a way.

All the complaining about LTIR but as a Vegas fan this is one of my least favorite Vegas teams for a different reason. I was upset when other Vegas teams lost in the playoffs but this team hasn’t cared that much in months so why should I care?

Other Vegas teams cared and were more often overachievers instead of underachievers.

Also personally this is the lowest my expectations have been going into the postseason. Does anyone still think our defense is good after watching this series?

Also I feel Peter DeBoer got a raw deal. He basically got fired after everyone was injured in 2022.

Edit: But maybe he will win a cup this year and if he does then good for him. Dadonov wasn’t treated well either in Vegas.
