Dan Spiegel: Dale Tallon's Best Draft Pick?

Well Ekblad obviously but that was a pretty easy pick to make

Dan Spiegel: Dale Tallon's Best Draft Pick?

Patrick Kane

Ekblad is the obvious choice but everyone would have did the same pick at #1

For his best pick I would go with Trocheck, pretty good find in the 3rd round and is working out well.

Gudbranson

Here are my rankings for Tallon's best picks with Florida:
1. Barkov
2. Ekblad
3. Trocheck
4. Huberdeau
5. Bjugstad

Was Brouwer in the 7th round a Talon pick? If so, that's the one.

Huberdeau considering where he was picked

Dustin Byfuglien 8th round
Brouwer 7th round
Hjalmarsson 4th round

Donskoi and it's not even close.

Tallon is a mad genius when it comes to drafting. he really killed it in chicago and brought that to Florida, especially with Trochek in value for the draft position. Best player would be Ekblad, then Barkov.

What, being picked 3rd overall?

For some reason I thought he was 10th overall

My bad

I'm pretty sure my grandmother could have picked Gudbranson, Huberdeau, Barkov, and Ekblad. Picking in the top 3 is not rocket science. Having the picks to draft is the science. Not bowing to pressure for playoff revenue, and building for long term success.
What Tallon did best for the Panthers, was bring back Luongo while having Vancouver retain salary, and in making sure to keep these picks intact.

I think he did the same thing in Chicago. His Chicago picks in later rounds are nothing to write home about. Being able to draft Toews and Kane, is more about having the picks than the selection themselves.

Tell us more about the things your grandma can and can't do

Trochek and it's not close.
Ekblad is who we knew he could be. Barkov was highly touted as well

Swag?

Taking Huberdeau over higher ranked players in the scouting list such as Couturier and Zibanejad was a good one. But Trocheck pick is the clear winner here.

Neither of them were ahead of Hub.

Wow, 2010 was pretty impressive for you guys.

He was slated to go 3rd of 4th, depending if a team wanted D, they would have gone for Larsson. He was drafted in the spot many scouts had him.

The steal of that draft was winnipeg taking Scheifele at 7, when most had him late 1st round in the 20s.
