You think it would have mattered though? Seemed like he just couldn't find the offense so he turned his game into being a role player. Smart move because he did have a pretty long career in the NHL.

it was a mess, during his rookie season Colin Campbell said to the press he'd never be more than a 3rd liner, not something an 18 year old needed to hear

Yeah I remember that. Was thinking of that when AV said Miller might be a very good AHL'er. I was thinking, here we go again.

He's not a good skater.

"The NHL is clearly trending towards a fast game, and favours defencemen that can move the puck in transition from the defensive zone. By looking at the tale of the tape, you may think Hague is a throwback to the old days where defencemen had to be big hulking physical defensive defencemen. At 6-6, 214 pounds it would be easy to see Hague fit that mould. However, skating is far from a deficiency in his game and he is equally adept offensively as he is defensively. He has a cannon of a shot from the point and can run the power play. Defencemen with his skill set are simply next to impossible to acquire outside of the draft, and as such he should be a top ten pick as the should be the second defenceman off the board come June." - Peter Harling

Good call B. You are correct.

Yea because Colli was gone before the end of the 98 season & MM was a rookie in 98-99.

Lundmark & Brendl probably made me never give a poop about the 1st round.

They (frank)ing ruined it for me.

Skjei is going to help me forget about those picks.

Was just looking at that 2012 draft. Some good players but some of the ones picked before Skjei.

I trusted PeteV. I don't follow a lot of these kids before the draft. I will be the 1st to say I'm pretty ignorant of who should get picked.
