Duclair.

 

[klingsor]

Going over that list was quite painful from time to time.

It's Savard and the fact that he was traded was painful, too.

 

[doncherrysgrill]

Anthony Duclair

 

[NYR Viper]

Alexei Cheraponov

what a cluster&*@# that draft day was, turning Savard and a 1st into Brendl and Lundmark

 

[HAPPY HOUR]

If I remember the rumor mill correctly from back then, there were rumblings that Gretzky and Messier did not like Marc Savard. Especially Wayne. They both liked Daniel Goneau even less. Reasons given were cocky attitudes and "dressing room", " team player" type stuff.

 

[RangerBoy]

Many of the Rangers vets didn't like Savard. Kevin Stevens didn't like him very much. He had his issues at the time and still does. Messier was already in Vancouver. Savard was very immature at the time.

Having played 1200 games....I would have to say Eric Boulton.....most guys drafted by us only average about a season just going by what I see in that list....PATHETIC....no damn wonder we have sucked for so long .

Easily Savard. Had his career not been cut short he probably would've been well over 1000 points before he hung up his skates.

 

[Dijock94]

Savard
Dubinsky
Anisimov
Stepan
Kreider
Miller

Meanwhile , Kevin was smoking crack with prostitutes on road games

As was his right as a seasoned vet

To be fair, by all accounts Kevin Stevens is a great guy who simply struggles with addiction.

Lemieux called him the night he was arrested. Gretzky loves him. The Pens equipment guy had a breakdown when he heard the story. Rich Pilon, the guy who shattered his face, later became his teammate, apologized to him, and became a close friend. Wasn't even Pilon's fault. He's donated a lot of money to amateur hockey. Just a lot of stories about how likeable Stevens was.

How could u possibly say cherepanov when he played less than 100 career pro games and none in the nhl...

I agree with this.

As far as results for the NYR......Stepan and Kreider and then Miller.

 

[boxhamster]

Hagelin

 

[Profet]

Christian Dube

Stupid horse meat.

I'm still convinced he could have been a player if the Rangers development program was worth anything at that point in time.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Hagelin

Cmon, choosing Haggy isn't nearly as laughable as suggesting Ryan Hollweg in the top three, let alone the top 50.

Good point right there and agreed. Getting drafted by the Rangers in those years didn't mean too much. Why? They just brought in vet after vet, and players were a wasting in the system.

Divide that by 2 and you'd almost have part of that statement right.


Savard for sure.
