I bet POM ignores this like most posts he can’t argue against.
But oh yea here are other franchise players that were taken at 5 off the top of my head so to say it never happens is false news.
Vanek
Price
Wheeler
Kessel
Jagr
Guerin
Scott Stevens
Barrasso
You could probably add Matthew tkachuk here if benning hadn’t been an idiot
I mean, there's no logical reason not to include players who were drafted after 5,of which there is a plethora. There is nothing magical about the fifth position, anyone drafted later would have obviously been available at 5.
You guys need to stop letting him steer the conversation to drafting though. It's so tiresome and irrelevant.
