      Enter Wayne Gretzky. He was not drafted. He had to go through an offer of a WHA team (now extinct) and when the WHA folded and his team didn't merge, his choice was either Edmonton, or 1 other (I forget). Unless the hockey article I read was wrong lol.

      @@Northern_Grace your facts are a bit off. He was too young for the draft at the time. The agreement between the NHL and the CAHA didn’t allow players under 20 to be drafted until 1980. Gretzky signed with Indianapolis of the WHA at age 17, but was traded to Edmonton after just 8 games and therefore was on the Oilers when they merged with the NHL for the 79-80 season. He was still just 18 but had played one year professionally and was exempt from draft restrictions. (also declared ineligible for the Calder Trophy).

      That dude has put up pretty good numbers (excellent shooting percentage, as well) while being given basically 3rd Line minutes on a vet-laden team, particularly his first three years.
      His Junior season was so-so, but the more time he’s been given, the more he’s produced. He’s not prone to giveaways, and he’s shown he can be physical (141 hits the prior season, last year focused more on offense.)
      Just because he hasn’t put up McDavid or even Jack Hughes numbers doesn’t make him a bust. On a team like New Jersey, he would’ve seen more opportunities, same as Bedard this past year (hence him going minus-44)

      Yah. I have a problem with calling him a bust. A bust is someone who has had an opportunity to develop and just hasn't. Boucher has had so much bad injury luck that there hasn't been much opportunity to develop. Give him a full year of health and development time and if he doesn't progress then sure, call him a bust.
      That's not to say it was a good pick. Using a top 10 pick on a guy who might be a third liner if all works out well is just crappy. They thought he had more offensive skill than he's shown. That's bad player evaluation.

    Podkolzin should be taking the spot that Joshua is leaving. Heres hoping he can put on some weight here this off season of muscle so hes a bit bigger. We also have to remember that he got hit pretty hard back on October 25th of this season while he was down in the AHL. So that was pretty bad for his development.

    When you stack a team it grossly inflates all the players worth and numbers.There is more to success than simply putting up numbers.You have to have a role within that team and if there are already 6 better forwards on that team you will never produce numbers on the bottom lines.On the flip side some players are over rated because they were inserted on the top line with really good player support that elevates there game above their actual ability.
    An example would be Nikushkin who was given every opportunity on Dallasbut imo was a plug he was not good at anything but when given surrounding players like McKinnon and Makar Rantanen then yeah your numbers might go up.

  • @JustinMogollon199
    @JustinMogollon199 3 місяці тому

    Kakko is not a bust. He's just been getting cursed with injuries (or when David Quinn was our coach, got benched for making mistakes despite having a great game). The rookie season was ok, but he scored 10 goals, which is definitely the minimum for forwards, and he would have done more if it wasn't for COVID. Next season, his points dropped, but it was due to less games, which actually means he was playing better. The 2021-2022 season, he struggled because he was out with injuries. But even then, he was playing his best season, and he was pointless in the first 10 games. If we removed those 10 games, he would be scoring 18 points in 33 games, and if it was a full season, it would be like last season where he played his best season with 40 points and almost 20 goals. This season was like 2 seasons ago where he dropped because of injuries. He missed almost 2 months due to injury, and when he came back in January, he scored 11 goals to make it to 13 goals. Kaapo Kakko is not a bust. We've seen that from him in 2023, and I know he will bounce back and continue to do well. It takes time, patience, and proper development. You can't just expect every Top 3 draft pick to instantly become Connor McDavid the moment they get drafted. It takes time. I mean, look at Alexei Lafreniere. Everyone was calling him a bust (but not me. I never viewed him as bust, and I knew it was a matter of time before he dominated), and look at him now. He is playing his best hockey as he got almost 30 goals and 60 points (which nearly puts him in the Top 5, and puts him 3rd in goals. He had more goals than Mika Zibanejad and Vincent Trocheck!), he got a hat trick, and he got 8 goals and 14 points in the playoffs this season, which would put him 4th in scoring (he had more points than Chris Kreider and Adam Fox), and tied for 1st in goals (with Chris Kreider and Vincent Trocheck)! Lafreniere LITERALLY proved all the haters and doubters wrong (and supporters and fans like me right). If Lafreniere can become a star, so can Kakko. Just give it time.

    Kirby Dach,(2019 #3 OA) whose career has been plagued by injury, should be on this list. Currently on IR in Montreal where he was traded to the Canadians for the #13 OA in 2022 (Frank Nazar) and a 3rd rounder #66 OA (Gavin Hayes) neither of which have yet to play 20 NHL games to Dach's 60 since the trade. Since 2022 Dach has played 212 games over 5 seasons scoring 33 goals and 65 assists. Hardly the kind of production from a #3 OA selection.

    Honestly, surprised about Turcotte, had much higher hopes for him. Guess he was the odd man out on the US NTDP teams. As for Pod... I wanted Boldy. I guess I wouldn't classify Pod as an outright bust... he has been mediocre relative to where he was drafted, other players around his range have definitely passed him, but he can be passably ok. Disappointing but not outright bust like Olli Juolevi. That Boucher pick was super bad... you had two pretty damn good goalies on the board at least, plus Sillinger and Lysell. Sucks about Soderstrom. Kakko I think needs some new scenery.

  • @nolanmarshall9055

    The one reason to forgive the boucher selection is if you look at that draft there was really no one picked 10-15 picks after him that looks anything special at all at this point other than wyatt johnston at 23. If boucher can carve out a 4th role scoring 10 goals a year running around hitting everyone i think its a win

    Ottawa should have traded down that year to a team in the mid 20’s and their 1st round pick the following year and then traded out of the 1st for another 1st rounder and maybe a 2nd. COVID didn’t allow for decent scouting of prospects that year so it was always going to be a crap shoot. No wonder the cupboard is so empty in that organization. Cheers from Ottawa 🍁

    Man I gotta say I think you’re way too early on Turcotte and Kakko. Like you said they’re more change of scenery candidates. It’s hard to shine when you never get a chance to play consistently (Turcotte) and Kakko imo was rushed. He needs a reset in a team where he isn’t a focal point. I would love if the flyers somehow got him.
    Soderstrom I’m not sold on either. D men take a while. Travis Sanheim was pretty awful till he turned 26. May just be a late bloomer.

So, the same argument could be said about a guy who was projected so hard to go first overall, and dropped all the way to 4OA, right? He's barely been playing any NHL minutes, no highlight reels, underlying numbers aren't great... Boy am I glad the Habs didn't pick him and went for Slaf instead!
