Russian Fan said:''Players on the top 10 does rarely become what it was expected because there's a lot of pressure on them, often they need to be traded to be a better player''
Vlad The Impaler said:I listened to the whole thing. Not Woodlief's fault but there was absolutely no meat at all. The show is obviously not targeted at draft nuts but the casual fan so those who missed this, do not worry, there was nothing in there that wasn't widely known already.
Including the fact Woodlief is a doofus
Russian Fan said:I agree with you there was nothing much to get ourselves exciting with this. Still, it was enjoyable even if there was no real insight in it.
Vlad The Impaler said:Ueah, a radio show is a tough spot to do yourself justice. And the interviewer rambled in some pointless directions at times. Like how time is flying by and those guys weren't born when the Miracle on Ic happened. That part was grating and a precious loss of time.
I had never heard Woodlief so I was glad to do so. It is definitly not his fault. He was there to talk about the draft for people who do not follow this stuff, thus information was mostly repeated. I'd say the people who read his column in the USA today this year didn't miss anything. But for the casual fan, it can be cool.
Sounds like Woodlief learned his English from Tarzan.Russian Fan said:In brief in the last 10 min
''Draft are cyclacle''
''2003 was one of the best of the last 10-12 years''
''2004 much deeper than 2002''
''drafting top 20, you will get a solid prospect''
''need to do your homework to get a good player in the later rounds''
''2004 got a lot of role players, safe pick''
''Difficult for fans to understand that a #1 are not all Mario Lemieux, Ray Bourques''
''Picking #4-5 does not mean you will get a superstar''
''Players on the top 10 does rarely become what it was expected because there's a lot of pressure on them, often they need to be traded to be a better player''
