That set the franchise back so bad, but time to move on. Shit happens. Better times ahead

Thanks Carol!!

Thanks Carol!



Or just go all John Schneider and trade down. Are 4 second round D picks better than 2 mid-to-late first rounders?

I thought he was gonna take Sergachev. Who at the time was the better Dman of the 2. Still is.

Over the past several years, I have got a good laugh from the analytic gang when they talk recency bias, if a Canadian kid moves up the final rankings,yet not a peep from those same analytic types, about recency bias, when a Canadian kid gets passed on a few rankings.

It’s crazy that Bryan Allen was our last 1st rounder Dman of any significance to play for Vancouver, besides Hughes.

It’s astonishing and somewhat embarrassing, or at least it should be. Regarding your Flyers trading the 5th overall pick, from what I’ve read they’re not interested in trading and they’re going to take Jiricek or Nemec.


“The NHL draft is nine nights away, and defenseman David Jiricek is favored to be the Philadelphia Flyers’ top pick, based on the consolidated predictions of some of the most respected experts.”

I had to Google. But you're right, there's a massive black hole from 1998 to 2018.

Not sure either will be available at 5 , Devils, Kraken and Coyotes might have a say in that.

Yep. Can't waste a first rounder. Happens too often.

Letang wants 9 mill x 5 years!

God I hope the Pens do that.

Rumor has it that he's on PA/JR's list....

Could had a much better winger instead

That's neither here nor there... there were other Dman available who turned out excellent. OJ was ranked higher so it's not just simply a case of position. Bad pick is all...

Consensus at the time had OJ higher... they were wrong in the end.

Quite the shooting gallery in Saanich.
