I just learned Florida tried to draft Alex Ovechkin with every pick in the 2003 draft. He was born two days after the cut off, and they tried to say leap years made him old enough (?). I did not remember this. They hoped a legal challenge could help them win the choice which is why they tried every selection.
Fun fact: Taro Tsujimoto, after a spell of unsuccessful seasons in Buffalo, would get traded to the Washington Capitals in 1987 where he played the last 420 games of his career, scoring a total of 69 points true story
Yup! Tried applying this season but missed the age requirement by 1 month. Trying again next summer. Turner was my fav this last season. Excited for season 25. Fav all timers are Evel Dick, Jeff & Jordan & Boogie
I'm still confused as to why the Senators drafted Tyler Boucher 10th overall in 2021. He was projected to go in the 2nd round by most scouts. And in the two seasons since his draft year he's done nothing to prove the scouts wrong. If the 2021 draft were re-done, Boucher would probably go in the 5th round
Ya I found that weird too ! And it begs the eternal question of if your going to make a pick like this, why not trade down a bit and get an extra asset?
Kotkaniemi would be off the board for me, and I would have even thought, that no matter the difference in projected picks, that at the time with Shane Wright coming in as he was with the gap between the players pre-draft, Slafkovsky (spelling) was off the board for MTL. Other off the boards pick (IMO) that didn't work out would be Rick DiPietro.
feels illegal to be this early. Another banger! P.S. Could you do a video relating to the evolution of goalie equipment and how it has influenced goaltenders as of today, but what has also faded out of favor. just an idea, but i would appreciate you taking it into accountability. even if u don’t, i will respect you as a godly hockey content creator. Thanks 4 keeping me busy 🤪
Seems like goalies are a fun topic to a lot of y’all ( myself included they’re my fav position ). Could be a fun offseason video to look into! Thanks for the support!!
@@idontgivetkachuk i appreciate that you took your time to respond to me and @michael-fi3uus’ ideas. i am actually a goalie myself, usually playing mostly in a high A. it’s pretty stressful, but it’s fun as hell! helps me get all my worries and stress out of my system. it’s like a religion. “goalieistmic,” if i were to make it up. once again, thanks 4 replying and having a moment together. love ur vids!
unless i had one of the 1st few picks, i would take a risk drafting a surprising player too…. i mean look at how many players in past drafts that were drafted like 25th and became a star… or players drafted like 5th and became busts…. you don’t know how players will be until they are on a specific team with specific players
Thank you for another fantastic video. I've been a Rangers fan since I was a young boy in the mid '70's. The McIlrath pick was an absolute atrocity. They could have gotten Tarasenko that year who went later in the first round. Unfortunately, with few exceptions, the Rangers historically have had terrible draft picks.
@@jamessollazzo4860 That is 100% correct. That draft was loaded with great players, one of the best draft classes ever. Of course, the Rangers found a complete bust.
I'll never forgive Dave Nonis (or Dave Numbnuts as I like to call him) for wasting the Canucks first round draft pick in 2007 on Patrick White, despite being told repeatedly by every scout in the Canucks employ NOT to.
1983 draft. You may have missed some players of importance over some of the names that you picked for your video. Pat Lafontaine, Steve Yzerman, Tom Barasso, Russ Courtnall, Cam Neely, Claude Lemieux, Sergio Momesso, Kevin Stevens.
I would do what’s necessary to try to move up to pick Michkov. I would send both Olofsson and the #13th overall or the #13th overall with a 2nd rounder for let’s say the #8th overall. There have been quite a few busts in the top of the draft but I rather try to draft one really talented player with some bust risk than go for three players that aren’t predicted to become more than 3rd liners.
Pretty sure if he's available at 8 Washington's taking him so you'd need a package to get above 8th. (below? English is weird, a lower number is generally considered above it because it's earlier in the draft).
Why is this thumbnail on my TH-cam home page. Why are you trying to hurt us Rangers fans? One of the two years I just shut the draft off after the Rangers pick. Mcilrath and Lias Andersson. I wanted Tarasenko or Fowler. The Jessimen pick was arguable worse but at least it happened before the lockout so it makes sense that he could've looked like a much better pick without all the changes that happened.
And no mentjon of Doug Wichenheiser . . . . .thanks fir not bringing it up. . , . , I remember those days . . . . Or how about when philly went off the board and picked Forsberg. But that wirked out well. He easnt even rabked in the top 50
Who do you hope your team drafts tomorrow?? And will anyone be moving up or down 👀
Bedard will drop to 14
I don’t even think Boston has draft picks 😂
I hope the leafs draft Taro Tsujimoto jr

Not every, just 4-7
I did remember them trying to draft him. Don’t remember them doing it more then once that draft.
Yeah, to being fan of Florida i remember that well
They even tried to draft him like 5 times in that draft

Giggity blaze it!

Leafs trading the picks that became Gibson & Rakell for Tyler Biggs in 2011 is another head scratcher.
Brian Burke for ya
Technically, Hasek did end up in blue and gold, since those were Buffalo's colours

I recommend a video similar to him a year or two ago, but just equipment in general. I think a video in this topic would be pretty good one.

I can tell this is gonna be a great vid. Good job Paul! Who should the blue jackets take at 3rd, in your opinion
Thanks buddy!! Personally, I’m very high on Leo Carlsson. Not quite sold on the Will Smith hype but that’s just me. Carlsson would be my pick!!
@@idontgivetkachuk ayy thx for responding, I completely agree. Even if we don’t pick him, I trust jarmo

weve only ever been good at drafting goalies unfortunately
@86cutty442 Brian Leetch and Kreider are a few exceptions. They passed on some all-time greats in my lifetime. Trottier, Bossy, Sakic, to name a few.
Thank you for the support!! Hopefully the rangers have a strong draft this szn 🙏

What would that fat dough boy know about athletic talent ?getting burkes coffee for him doesnt count as being athletic
Now Nonis is apart of Flames management!! ( Yippie :/ )
@@idontgivetkachuk That explains a lot.
@@gordieparenteau6555 LOL
I mean it's not like you missed out on a ton of guys David Perron or Brandon Smith maybe PK Subban since he was taken before your next pick
Imagine if the Blues had moved to Saskatoon 😅
Bettman would have moved them by now
What would that team have been called? The Saskatoon...Scorchers?
Great video!!! have not watched one of these in a year or so.
Welcome back buddy! Thanks for sticking around!!
@@idontgivetkachuk no problem, thank you for making these vids!
Nothing confusing about picking Seider. Yzerman knows exactly what he’s doing.
The most confusing draft pick of all time was when the maple leafs picked mathews over the GOAT Laine
LOL XD
Yo fr
You're not who I think you are right?
Lmao the "Laines better" crowd has been real quiet in Winnipeg
@@joeshittheragman6252Matthew's is overrated but the leafs will never win paying him as much as they are.
i love these videos, you kind of sound like the guy from baseball doesn't exist. love your channel.
Oh word I love that guy! Thanks bud!! And thanks for the support!
Im surprised the CBJ Chinakov pick wasn’t on the list.
Thats a good one!

Two video suggestions:
The downfall of the Philadelphia Flyers (2019-20 vs now)
Tampa Bay's Stanley Cup core falling apart this offseason and why
I’ve watched every one of your videos and there always Great

RIP Saskatoon Blues. What could have been.
You could have done an entire video on bad Rangers picks.
wait why have yzermans other picks have not gone to plan? can you explain
Zadina doesnt look as promising as he was projected to be, and Veleno hasnt made as many strides as of late.
@@idontgivetkachukThey were both 2018 picks. Stevie's first draft with the wings was 2019.
