RIP Pavol Demitra and the rest of the Lokomotiv team. I had him on quite a few fantasy teams over the years. I enjoyed watching him play even tho I'm a Wings fan.
I'm a Chicago Blackhawks fan and enjoyed the likes of Kane and Toews. I started seeing Fedrick Anderson, Auston Matthews, and Mitch Marner because I was introduced to Toronto. Watched their first game against Minnesota back in 2019, and I had fun watching both teams. I was introduced to other players from different teams. It was odd to cheer for others for a while since it wasn't my main team. After a while, I started liking Hockey as a Sport in general. Pavol Demitra was definitely something else on another level. I wasn't into Hockey until I was 19 in 2019. I only started knowing about other players doing research. It is completely okay to watch other players on different teams. You are a Wings fan, so be proud of that, and be proud to see another incredible talent. I'm into Anaheim Ducks, Minnesota Wild, L.A. Kings, New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks, Colorado Avalanche, Detroit Red Wings, San Jose Sharks, Pittsburg Penguins, and Carolina Hurricanes!
Another tough one to re-draft. My draft (before watching the video): 1. Chris Pronger - Shortened career, but still played a lot of games and won a Cup, Norris, and Hart. Was 3rd in Norris voting three times. 2. Paul Kariya - Definitely too short a career. Won two Lady Byngs and was 2nd in Hart voting in 1996-97 with 99 points in just 69 games. 3. Todd Bertuzzi - His peak was too hard to ignore. Unstoppable physical force in the dead puck era and scored 46 goals in 2002-03. 4. Saku Koivu - Consistent strong offensive player and great leader. 5. Kimmo Timonen - Was elite at the end of his Predators tenure and start of his Flyers tenure, finishing 5th in Norris voting in 2006-07. 6. Jason Arnott - Consistent 20-30 goal scorer and was clutch in the 2000 playoffs for the Devils. 7. Pavol Demitra - Steady reliable offense and peaked at 93 points in 78 games with the Blues in 2002-03. 8. Bryan McCabe - Finished 4th in Norris voting in 2003-04 and was a stud on the Maple Leafs blueline for years. 9. Miroslav Satan - Could be relied on for 25+ goals almost every year for several years. 10. Jamie Langenbrunner - Strong playmaker who could handle top six minutes in his prime. Also received a little Selke attention. 11. Vinny Prospal - Didn't seem to get worse as he aged and was still a solid 2nd line player in his mid 30s. 12. Andrew Brunette - Always seemed to score points--especially for the Avalanche in 2006-07 when he had 83 points. 13. Jason Allison - Short career, but was excellent, reaching 95 points with the Bruins in 2000-01. 14. Tommy Salo - Best goalie in the draft, was a solid starter for the Oilers in the early 2000s. 15. Brendan Morrison - Was the centre on the famous West Coast Express line in Vancouver, scoring 71 points in his best year. 16. Todd Marchant - Strong defensive 3rd line winger who received serious Selke consideration several times. 17. Chris Gratton - Started quite strong early with two 62-point seasons and was a steady middle six forward after that. 18. Viktor Kozlov - Slightly shorter career after he left for the KHL, but was a strong 2nd line centre for many years, albeit a bit inconsistent. 19. Rob Niedermayer - Won a Cup with his brother Scott in 2007 and was also a solid defensive centre who played over 1100 games. 20. Eric Daze - Huge player for a centre who had three 30+ goal seasons, but injuries kept him down. 21. Darcy Tucker - Tough as nails and loved by teammates and hated by opponents, Tucker could also put up points, especially once he joined the Leafs in 1999-00. 22. Scott Walker - Another tough player, especially early in his career, Walker had injuries, but still passed 50 points three times in his career. 23. Mike Grier - Great 3rd line winger who put up a few points, but also got Selke attention. 24. Adam Deadmarsh - Career ended early in a fight, but twice surpassed 60 points. 25. Hal Gill - This defensive behemoth had a very long career with 1108 games. 26. Jay Pandolfo - Was a defensive expert and finished as high as 3rd in Selke voting in 2006-07. Honourale Mention: Janne Niinimaa - Had a strong rookie season and continued to be a reliable defender for most of his 10-year career. Other mentions: German Titov, Kenny Jonsson, Alexander Daigle, Jamal Mayers, Shean Donovan, Jocelyn Thibault, Patrick Lalime
NHL 2004 is probably my favorite game of all time! I still play it every once in a while. But your totally right about how Daze sims in that game. Also on the flip side as a Wings fan. I always tried to Develop Datsyuk in that game but could never get him above a high 70’s low 80’s overall 3rd line guy 🤷♂️🤣
18:41 Todd Marchant shares a record with Gretzky! He scored three short-handed goals in a single postseason. Of course it's not just the 2 of them tied for that record, it's a 7 way tie with Derek Sanderson (1969), Tobias Rieder (2020), Wayne Presley (1989), Bill Barber (1980), Lorne Henning(also 1980), Marchant (1997), and Gretzky (1983).
Tommy Salo of course more remembered for the '94 Olympic gold medal final shoot out save on Kariya Nice to see Salo ranked so highly. I never really knew much about the perception of Salo in NA.
Very underrated because the Isles nearly wrecked him. Excellent for the Utah Grizzlies and superb for Edmonton. Hated how his career ended after his marriage broke up.
@@1bert719 absolute work horse in Edmonton.... Always loved his mask designs too.... Man was good for a strong 60+ game season.... And always a hard fought first round exit (usually against a stacked Detroit, Colorado or Dallas)
@@Trump4Life2024 Yeah, that one always comes up, at least here in Sweden. I can’t remember another time feeling that much frustration watching sports that I did during that quarter final in the 2002 olympics. It was a bad goal by Salo, but the skaters we had should’ve won against Belarus blindfolded.
My dad owned a cab and drove Satan to the airport the day he got traded. Never forget the talk at dinner that night when he said he had Satan in his cab today.
Can't ever imagine Paul Kariya being drafted by another team then Anaheim Mighty Ducks. It was sad enough that he left the franchise after the 2002-2003 finals season for a poor season with the Colorado Avalanche + an even worse co-season for partner Teemu Selanne but more that he could not be a part of the Duck's 2007 Stanley Cup championship season.
I remember destroying the league in EA NHL in a 80 game season with Saku Koivu. It wasn't even fair! By mid season he won the Calder award! With Paul Kariya I was god tier!
Imagine having Darcy Tucker, Tie Domi and Bryan Marchment on the same team. (I'd assume that helped them quite a bit in their CF run. I can't imagine how irritating that'd be to play against).
Rob Niedermayer will always be remembered for his role on the 07 Ducks as the shutdown line with Moen and Pahlsson. As a Sens fan they were the bane of my existence that series.
What’s crazy about this redraft. Top 5 (minus Arnott) had all played with the Ducks at one point. Prospal, Morrison, niedermayer and Marchand as well played with the Ducks in their career
As an Oiler fan, Timonen is acceptable at #7 and Tucker at #16, though knowing the history of the Oilers, both would have been traded a few years later for a couple of bags of pucks!!
I still would have taken Kariya first, to play with Yashin and maybe Alfredsson, who, of course, in a redraft would go in the first round, too. So, whatevs. Although, Kariya playing with Verbeek, Sanderson, and Cassels is still quite tasty too
Todd Bertuzzi, Bryan McCabe and Tommy Salo all go before the Islanders pick in redraft. Nice draft for them. This must have been before Mike Milbry was GM.
Manny Legace made his NHL debut for the LA Kings in 1989-90 season. Then went to Detroit the following year for 6 years, then St Louis for 3 years and ended his career with a single year in Carolina.
Tommy Salo would've been better remembered if he hadn't run slap into a prime Dallas team in every one of his post seasons. He played well but the Oilers couldn't get past the Stars at all. (I guess they took the 97 loss really personally) 😉
I actually forgot about Vinny Prospal. I didn't realize he played over 1,100 games too. I love that you took Jamie Langenbrunner at #12 for the Leafs. I would of liked to see him play in blue and white. Langenbrunner was a big reason I won my 2003 playoff hockey pool too because no one else took him except me and he had a great playoffs with 11 goals 7 assists.
Who is this Chris Pronger you speak of? I only remember Sens legend Alexandre Daigle, cause according to him “it’s better to go number one cause no one remembers number two”.
Daze was another one that suffered injury problems. If not for back problems, you could have him in the top 10. I would have also put Bertuzzi ahead of Arnott and Tucker higher up as well. Allison was an amazing playmaker, but super slow. He is a tough one to rate.
I looked it up. Satan was his real name. I thought for sure it was changed. Any Slovakians in the house? It probably means something completely different in Slovak. What a player though. I remember him primarily with the Sabres.
Habs fan here. When you had Koivu at #3, I thought to myself that can't be accurate. 20 minutes later... yeah, a clear #3 for a draft with two clear legends, then a perennial all-star, and then a glut of like 10 solid occasional all-stars that wouldn't get a sniff at the HOF.
Honestly, the more impressive thing about Alexandre Daigle is that he didn't play hockey for two full-seasons between 2000 and 2002 and managed to tie his career best 2 seasons later!
Ottawa was a bit of a train wreck the first few years, so it's a shame that Daigle got rushed into the NHL and wasn't allowed to develop his game more before making the jump to the NHL. He had great offensive skills, but really lacked any sense of defense. After his hiatus, he was a better two-way player. I liked Daigle, but feel he was majorly overrated by the scouts, which isn't his fault.
@@matthewdaley746 two different types of games there.... And two incredibly different Oilers teams.... Not that I've ever been one to pump up Fuhr's tires
Looking at your list, it’s crazy to think all around the same time the Oilers had Arnott, Satan, Salo, Marchant and Grier. Also can’t forget Pronger fo that one amazing year!
Shannon, thank you for discussing the Steve Moore incident with Todd Bertuzzi. I lost a ton of respect for Bertuzzi after what he did to Steve Moore who never recovered.
I’m a ducks fan and I was at the 2003 Stanley cup appreciation parade. Kariya said he wanted to come back and left. He choose to leave. We loved kariya
2:50 agreed, we should have brought kariya back somehow, but I guess nashville were unwilling to make a deal. Real shame but delighted he was inducted into the HoF, well deserved. Definitely would have surpassed 1000/1000 without getting hurt.
"The Whalers letting him go ends up coming back to haunt them." Not necessarily if you look at it long term. Pronger to St. Louis for Shanahan, leads to Shanahan to Detroit for Primeau, leads to Primeau to Philly for Brind'Amour. Think that ended up working out for the franchise if you are really patient.
poor jason allison, man. comes back after a few years to play with the leafs. slow as hell. plays with poni and antro. still puts up 60 points in 67 games. nuts. tried to make the team a few years later too.
Anyone curious about why their team was missing picks, copied (with minor tweaks to add the pick numbers) from wikipedia: The San Jose Sharks' first-round pick (2nd overall) went to the Hartford Whalers as the result of a trade on June 26, 1993 that sent Sergei Makarov, first and third-round pick both in 1993 (6th and 58th overall) and Toronto's second-round pick (45th overall) in 1993 to San Jose in exchange for this pick. The Hartford Whalers' first-round pick (6th overall) went to the San Jose Sharks as the result of a trade on June 26, 1993 that sent the second overall pick in 1993 to Hartford in exchange for Sergei Makarov, Toronto's second-round pick (45th overall) and a third-round pick (58th overall) both in 1993 and this pick. The Philadelphia Flyers' first-round pick (10th overall) went to the Quebec Nordiques as the result of a trade on June 30, 1992 that sent the Eric Lindros to Philadelphia in exchange for Ron Hextall, Peter Forsberg, Steve Duchesne, Kerry Huffman, Mike Ricci, future considerations (Chris Simon and a first-round pick in 1994 on July 21, 1992), $15 million in cash and this pick. The St. Louis Blues' first-round pick (11th overall) went to the Washington Capitals as compensation for not matching an offer sheet from St. Louis to restricted free agent Scott Stevens on July 16, 1990. The Buffalo Sabres' first-round pick (12th overall) went to the Toronto Maple Leafs as the result of a trade on February 2, 1993 that sent Grant Fuhr and a fifth-round pick in 1995 to Buffalo in exchange for Dave Andreychuk, Darren Puppa and this pick. The New York Islanders' first-round pick (14th overall) went to the Quebec Nordiques as the result of a trade on June 20, 1993 that sent Ron Hextall and a first-round pick in 1993 (23rd overall) to New York in exchange for Mark Fitzpatrick and this pick. The Los Angeles Kings' first-round pick (16th overall) went to the Edmonton Oilers as the result of a trade on August 9, 1988 that sent Wayne Gretzky, Mike Krushelnyski and Marty McSorley to Los Angeles in exchange for Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas, $15 million in cash and first-round picks in 1989, 1991 and this pick. The Quebec Nordiques' first-round pick (23rd overall) went to the New York Islanders as the result of a trade on June 20, 1993 that sent Mark Fitzpatrick and a first-round pick in 1993 (14th overall) to Quebec in exchange for Ron Hextall and this pick.
Martin St. Louis was draft eligible in 1993 for the 1st time. Even though he wasn't drafted, je should always slot in the top 2 in this redraft TBF, in redrafts all available players should be considered, not just the ones who were drafted (which is very hard to do obviously).
But I remember why the radio was pushing for Pronger's departure and I lived in Canada my whole life. His lifestyle in Hartford wasn't helping the team or his reputation.
Love seeing Saku get the respect he deserves. The point totals he has are astounding considering the linemates he had.

Same on both fronts, fantasy and Wings 🍻
Nice draft, although definitely fell apart after not having the Devil's draft Satan
Haha, seriously. He was one pick back! How can you skip that opportunity for one spot?

was thinking the same
Those Ducks jerseys are still iconic
so many former Oilers on this list...brings back memories
Not a lot of good Arnott memories. He was HATED 90% of his time here
Spot on take on Bertuzzi. Also, Jason Arnott was such a joy to watch play, so steadfast.
Rob Niedermayer will always be remembered for his role on the 07 Ducks as the shutdown line with Moen and Pahlsson. As a Sens fan they were the bane of my existence that series.
What’s crazy about this redraft. Top 5 (minus Arnott) had all played with the Ducks at one point. Prospal, Morrison, niedermayer and Marchand as well played with the Ducks in their career
Tucker had some of the best ever facial expressions when debating refs on calls that went against him. He'd get this stupendous look on his face.
You should do a career video for Kimmo Timonen, if you haven’t already.
As an Oiler fan, Timonen is acceptable at #7 and Tucker at #16, though knowing the history of the Oilers, both would have been traded a few years later for a couple of bags of pucks!!

Thibault and Daze… Two guys who were the bright spots during those 2000s Blackhawks teams
Tbh. Once he got hip surgery, He was never the same
Manny Legace made his NHL debut for the LA Kings in 1989-90 season. Then went to Detroit the following year for 6 years, then St Louis for 3 years and ended his career with a single year in Carolina.
Lol I remember you telling me how good Daze was in NHL games at a meetup a few years ago.
Tommy Salo would've been better remembered if he hadn't run slap into a prime Dallas team in every one of his post seasons. He played well but the Oilers couldn't get past the Stars at all. (I guess they took the 97 loss really personally) 😉
Imagine Kariya's career if they had the head-hit rules and concussion protocols back then...
I actually forgot about Vinny Prospal. I didn't realize he played over 1,100 games too. I love that you took Jamie Langenbrunner at #12 for the Leafs. I would of liked to see him play in blue and white. Langenbrunner was a big reason I won my 2003 playoff hockey pool too because no one else took him except me and he had a great playoffs with 11 goals 7 assists.
I started following hockey in 95 so this was very nostalgic for me.
A lot of familiar names there, of course, no mega stars but very nostalgic list.
Who is this Chris Pronger you speak of? I only remember Sens legend Alexandre Daigle, cause according to him “it’s better to go number one cause no one remembers number two”.
Andrew Brunette scored the final goal against Patrick Roy in Roy's career. It was a playoff game in which the Wild eliminated the Avs.
That's exactly how I remember him, too. Well, that and he was born in my hometown.
Daze was another one that suffered injury problems. If not for back problems, you could have him in the top 10. I would have also put Bertuzzi ahead of Arnott and Tucker higher up as well. Allison was an amazing playmaker, but super slow. He is a tough one to rate.

So try to read it like Szatan
I finished nhl 95 season mode today and Rob Blake won Selke trophy!
Marchant now works for the Sharks as of this summer.
Habs fan here. When you had Koivu at #3, I thought to myself that can't be accurate.
20 minutes later... yeah, a clear #3 for a draft with two clear legends, then a perennial all-star, and then a glut of like 10 solid occasional all-stars that wouldn't get a sniff at the HOF.
Honestly, the more impressive thing about Alexandre Daigle is that he didn't play hockey for two full-seasons between 2000 and 2002 and managed to tie his career best 2 seasons later!

Yea!! I had Daze on my Nhl04 team. I remember I had him with Mario I had 100 goals with him 1 year.
Ironically enough I can’t actually remember the name of the guy who went first overall in front of Pronger
I can't believe you don't have Janne Niinimaa in the first round 😱..
Such a great puck-handling d-man.. great skater!
Love these redrafts. Great content!
It was not a star studded draft but it was a deep draft! I love so many of these players!

he already did it just after his retirement iirc
Satan to Devils at 13 😂
Sens fan - Would have loved to have gotten Kariya in this draft.
"The Whalers letting him go ends up coming back to haunt them." Not necessarily if you look at it long term. Pronger to St. Louis for Shanahan, leads to Shanahan to Detroit for Primeau, leads to Primeau to Philly for Brind'Amour. Think that ended up working out for the franchise if you are really patient.

poor jason allison, man. comes back after a few years to play with the leafs. slow as hell. plays with poni and antro. still puts up 60 points in 67 games. nuts. tried to make the team a few years later too.
An aeroplane carrying team members of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl crashed in 2011. Pavol Demitra was one of them. R.I.P. to all of them.
Waiting for Todd Bertuzzi's career video. No kidding.
This video is proof people remember who is drafted second.
I grew up in Hartford. Noone liked pronger . He got better as time went on . Now I'm a tampa fan . I live in clearwater
Anyone curious about why their team was missing picks, copied (with minor tweaks to add the pick numbers) from wikipedia:
The San Jose Sharks' first-round pick (2nd overall) went to the Hartford Whalers as the result of a trade on June 26, 1993 that sent Sergei Makarov, first and third-round pick both in 1993 (6th and 58th overall) and Toronto's second-round pick (45th overall) in 1993 to San Jose in exchange for this pick.
The Hartford Whalers' first-round pick (6th overall) went to the San Jose Sharks as the result of a trade on June 26, 1993 that sent the second overall pick in 1993 to Hartford in exchange for Sergei Makarov, Toronto's second-round pick (45th overall) and a third-round pick (58th overall) both in 1993 and this pick.
The Philadelphia Flyers' first-round pick (10th overall) went to the Quebec Nordiques as the result of a trade on June 30, 1992 that sent the Eric Lindros to Philadelphia in exchange for Ron Hextall, Peter Forsberg, Steve Duchesne, Kerry Huffman, Mike Ricci, future considerations (Chris Simon and a first-round pick in 1994 on July 21, 1992), $15 million in cash and this pick.
The St. Louis Blues' first-round pick (11th overall) went to the Washington Capitals as compensation for not matching an offer sheet from St. Louis to restricted free agent Scott Stevens on July 16, 1990.
The Buffalo Sabres' first-round pick (12th overall) went to the Toronto Maple Leafs as the result of a trade on February 2, 1993 that sent Grant Fuhr and a fifth-round pick in 1995 to Buffalo in exchange for Dave Andreychuk, Darren Puppa and this pick.
The New York Islanders' first-round pick (14th overall) went to the Quebec Nordiques as the result of a trade on June 20, 1993 that sent Ron Hextall and a first-round pick in 1993 (23rd overall) to New York in exchange for Mark Fitzpatrick and this pick.

I wish you'd do these in reverse order. They're fun though
Martin St. Louis was draft eligible in 1993 for the 1st time. Even though he wasn't drafted, je should always slot in the top 2 in this redraft
TBF, in redrafts all available players should be considered, not just the ones who were drafted (which is very hard to do obviously).
I'm just about to do this draft in HLM lol
But I remember why the radio was pushing for Pronger's departure and I lived in Canada my whole life. His lifestyle in Hartford wasn't helping the team or his reputation.
Yet another confirmation. Eric Daze always seemed buffed in NHL 04. I was like "who the f is this guy?"
would love to see a 1989 redraft video
Hall Gill? Played over 1100 games.
I would love to see the Sharks do an alternate jersey with a Jaws style shark one year, just for fun.
Pronger wore officials' eyes down alongside opposition bodies.
Nhl 2004 is my fav nhl game ever
Interesting thought experiment. I would have placed Salo and Marchant higher.
1989 next please!!!!
Do 1997 next!!!
Redraft the 04 draft next that could be a fun one cause of the first round being worse than people remember
I would love to see a career video on Daigle
So many Ducks!
satan 14? oh cmon he was 40goal scorer
The Jets drafted Khabibulin the year before, no need for Thibault. Great draft though, keep up the great content
Québec/French media called him Vaclav Prospal. First time I hear "Vinny" or anything else than Vaclav.
Having watched all your redraft videos, I'm starting to think the St. Louis Blues don't actually exist and are just a figment of my imagination...
Haha Miroslav Satan devils jersey would of been a great one to own.
How about a 1989 redraft? Does Mats Sundin still go number 1?
Adam Deadmarsh?
We hold these video and comments truths to be self evident. Why isn't he shaking my hand?
The Ducks need to return to that jersey and colors - it is still the most popular one (when you see an Anaheim cap here in Sweden, that is the one)
Since this was before the draft lottery, why didn’t Anaheim or Florida get the number 1 pick?
Would've been very happy with Eric Daze on my Wings.
Pretty decent draft
Based on initial projections as the #1 pick and the parallel between 1993 and 2022, wouldn't it be crazy if Shane Wright became Alex Daigle 2.0 🥴
Rewatching this now and still wishing we drafted Satan in NJ. 😂
