Player Discussion Andrew Peeke

[Grimey]

Great point.

Just to show how much of a crapshoot the draft is, Peeke was drafted high 2nd round (34th overall) in 2016 draft. Bruins drafted Ryan Lindgren (49), basically a left shooting Peeke. In the 3rd round, where there wasn't much left, Calgary drafted Adam Fox, who would win the Norris Trophy 5 years later. So the Flames stepped in it. But they still didn't know what they had and made him part of a deal that sent Fox (along with Dougie Hamilton) to the Hurricanes while he was still in college. Not to be outdone, the Hurricanes traded him to the Rangers

Nail Yakupov: 1st overall - bust

Michael Ryder: 8th rounder - put up three 30 goal seasons, Stanley cup champ, can become Tim Thomas in a pinch.

Lovely if you don’t consider they are eating up 10% of your cap. That’s astronomical for a third pair.

Zadorov is 3rd on the D in ice time.

He's not really "3rd pair" if he's 2nd or 3rd in TOI most night. You could make the argument that Wotherspoon-Carlo has become our 3rd pair.

Exactly this, and it's really annoying to continously see the lazy usual suspects slag the Zadorov signing by calling him "3rd pair".

3rd overall in icetime and leading our D in +/- and hits --and 1pt off the D lead in pts.

1 min behind Lindholm in mins/game and 1min ahead of Carlo.

"3rd pair" = grow up.
