Morris Titanic.

Although, Dudacek actually never set foot on US soil to play for Buffalo, so there's that. Way to go, Scotty!

- grand-magus



I had Titanic but then removed him. For me it was a toss up between Cooper and Savage.

Savage is a good one.

Cooper mystifies me. 30 games, 10 points as a defenseman. Wtf? It's obvious the guy could play. I don't remember the particulars with him, as to why he didn't last, though.

Cooper was a real good junior player who couldn't make the transition. If I remember right he ended up for a short time in the ECHL. Savage was just a bad pick imo,

Muckler didn't become GM till 1993, those picks were on Gerry Meehan.

And if he didn't score, it was tipped in.

Best point shot in the league for a while. Right along the ice.

Yikes.

Meehan was bad. Scouting obviously bad, too.

Look at their top picks from '86 to 2007, and look at how many misses there were. Scary, how bad the scouting and decision making was. 20 (frank)ing years of bad, with a few decent ones sprinkled in there.
