Makes it even more bullshit then.Here's what happened (stealing it from another board):
Yeah I definitely don’t regret that trade other than the fact they got an 11th overall out of it and wasted it on a defenseman who played 20 career NHL games.
If I was a player on the opposing team it would make me grin.Seeing Sacco behind a bench makes my skin crawl lol
Wasn't he just leaching points off of Stefan Elliott in juniors and the Avs bit HARD.Yeah I definitely don’t regret that trade other than the fact they got an 11th overall out of it and wasted it on a defenseman who played 20 career NHL games.
Ah yes, the Avs when they drafted defensive partners, Elliott/Siemens and Shattenkirk/Cohen…Wasn't he just leaching points off of Stefan Elliott in juniors and the Avs bit HARD.

At the time he was really well thought of, scouts thought he’d be a dominant defensive dman, there were a bunch of reports praising his leadership and skating. Turns out scouts are bad at their jobs some times.
What they drafted…
…versus what they ended up with:
It’s actually a shame that he didn’t turn into an overpowering defensive presence, because that guy in the second picture obliterating forwards would make so much sense
I think the guy in the second picture is more likely to microwave your cat.
Doesn't matter. The Rick Pracey-show wouldn't have picked Brodin in that draft.A damn shame that the Mild picked Brodin right before we took Uncle Dunc
Siemens was actually a good skater for his size, and was by all accounts a really great locker room presence everywhere he went. His problem was just that he had flat zero puck skills. Even as a shutdown defenseman, you need to be able to make a basic breakout pass from your zone, and it says a lot that Anton Lindholm handled the puck with more alacrity at the NHL level.At the time he was really well thought of, scouts thought he’d be a dominant defensive dman, there were a bunch of reports praising his leadership and skating.

Playoffs are pretty much set but Boston maybe misses. Sacco is horrible and Swayman isn't good either.Joe Sacco in meltdown? Gosh if only someone could have seen it coming.
I can't believe I lost that file. I would still be using that avatar.How dare you disrespect Duncan Siemens? @UncleRisto got an awesome avatar for a long time thanks to him.
At this point it was revealed to them that he's the devil, so they returned the VHS.What they drafted…
