Anaheim and Carolina both had top 5 picks, so they "tanked" but were far from having a tankfest

The Ducks had a top 5 pick because of the lottery. And Bobby Ryan played no factor in the Stanley Cup.

NOPE.

Becuase the leaf fans want him

Which is fine and I'm not saying he's going to be a bust or anything.

I just don't understand the lovefest for a guy who missed almost the whole season. I've even seen some suggest that they would take him before Nail.
How has he gained in all these so called fans eyes. Because it's popular?

Lol. Such bad faith.

People were debating between him and Nail for #1 last year. Nail had the upper hand to most, but Galchenyuk wasn't far. We were mostly concerned about his injury, and he proved he was back in form.

I seriously think the best thing to happen to players on their draft year is an injury. Over-scouting can be detrimental to players evaluation. Tell that to Couturier.

Rielly didn't play much this year and people prefer him over a guy who played the whole year, because they didn't see him struggle.
