What's your worst hot take opinion you were way off on

[Hellraising Senator]

Betting good money on Matthew's to score tonight. The Oracle I am not haha

 

[brentashton]

Nail Yakupov is going to be the next Ovechkin

There hot takes and then there are scalding takes. Ouch.

 

[brentashton]

Alexander was much better than William Nylander.

Yakupov was going to be like Bure. He was not even as good as Valeri Bure.

Carter Hart was going to be in the running for Vezina this year.

Yakupov, f*** he wasn’t even as good as Candace Bure

 

[Hoochi Papa]

All three of these would win Norris:
Bouwmeester
Pitkänen
Phaneuf

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Nail Yakupov would be a superstar and the face of the Oilers franchise,

Yikes......

 

[cupcrazyman]

I thought the Leafs would beat the Habs 4-1 in this playoff round & only because Price would steal 1 game.

 

[Dempsey]

I thought Mats Lindgren was going to be a superstar.

 

[Saitama]

I thought the Leafs would beat the Habs 4-1 in this playoff round & only because Price would steal 1 game.

Yeah, you're not the only one. I think I even predicted a sweep. The Habs have played quite a bit better than I expected. That combined with some Leafs players having a rough patch and I'm so far almost as wrong as I could have been.

 

[Name Nameless]

On the Arizona-board, someone wanted to trade for Zibanejad a couple of years ago. I was like, that one is not worth it. Some months later he started to get 6 points per period or whatever it was.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Brendan Gaunce & Hunter Shinkaruk would be better than Bo Horvat.....

 

[Score8]

Hall trade to the bruins would be bust, thought bruins had too many holes to fill for hall to impact team.

 

[Rschmitz]

Tyler Johnson is going to have a comeback year

wooossh

 

[tempofound]

"Kucherov and Palat are nothing special, the real driver of that line Tyler Johnson. He's going to be the Lightnings best player in a few years." - Me, summer of 2015.

 

[Voight]

MackInnon had peaked in his rookie year and was going to be a massive disappointment.

 

[DeysArena]

I thought Dallas Eakins would make a good NHL coach.

 

[LazyCircuits]

I thought Aleksander Barkov at 2nd overall in 2013 was a dumb pick by the Panthers.

I thought he was over rated and was a middle 6 centre.

 

[D1az]

That Draisaitl's contract was an absolute disaster for the Oilers.
Boy did that teach me to shut up and wait for some actual feedback, in life in general, before starting my mouth.

 

[Marshall]

I thought Patrick Kane would be too slight/small to become elite in the NHL. I wasn't close on that one.

 

[stevo61]

Thought Huberdeau would be a bust

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

David Rundblad was going to be the next Erik Karlsson(when EK was in his prime)

 

[grcenter47]

Thought the Devils scoring would improve this season

 

[summer tooth]

I had a strong feeling that Torts would lead the Jackets to a deep playoff effort

 

[Phil Kessels Hot Dog]

Druin would be the best player from his draft.

 

[dm1371]

Brandon Gormley will be a captain material top pairing D.

Oh boy.

 

[aufheben]

I thought the 2013-14 Rangers were a bad team and that stats were stupid.

They made it to the SCF, and won the Presidents’ Trophy the following season.
