[WarriorofTime]

y im enjoying the heck out of yzergod owning the draft floor and stacking up blue chips , then seein the chippers like edvinsson n kasper start their careers while further down the depth chart guys like augustine-lombardi-buchelnikov-finnie are raising hell while big hoss cossa rockin the ahl . real hockey fans of the red wings see nothing wrong with yzermans work AT ALL but are instead COMPLETELY IMPRESSED and are enjoying all these young blue chip monsters taking their first baby steps !

This has gotta be satire

Montreal Canadiens are No. 1 in TSN's annual NHL team ranking of U-24 players | TSN

Bolstered by a group of five players born outside Canada, the NHL's all-time Stanley Cup leader has a core of young players projected to be as strong as or better than any in the league.

Lots of As and Bs for a team that can't make the playoffs. Maybe your letter grades aren't, like, based on fact?

Its about process not results when retoolin/rebuilding

And if you read what i posted i was highly critical of the pro scouting but also gave some leeway for the fact some of the players are more placeholders than solutions

Ottawa has 8 picks from the 2020 draft that have played 2 games or more.
Detroit has one the fourth overall pick.

"2 games or more" is probably the most unintentionally funny thing I've read on here in a while.

how would you have shortened it ? by over paying n over terming risky ufa that wouldnt have brought in a cup anyway while costing long term cap plus weakend detroits draft position by improving record a littlle bit ? ufa that would be beyond prime when redwings kids were ready ? hes attempting to build redwings up to become long term cup runners , as opposed to your outlook that he should of spent future assets to just get in only to get quickly kicked out . you cry baby fans arent gonna rattle yzergods cage , hes building tampa bay north ''the red lightning''

I believe he could have kept to his goals and still be further along in the rebuild.

However in viewing your post history it’s clear you’re not a poster that is inclined to have a reasonable discussion about this. Attacking and name calling posters who you don’t agree with isn’t worth the trouble to engage with. I can go to Reddit to get that’s So probably best that we leave it at this, between us.

I'm actually disapointed. When I read the reply to you I was really curious what you'd say. You took the higher road dammit.lol

Your first article doesn't support your point that "drafting is almost entirely luck" at all.

~15 paragraphs that can be summed up as "drafting pro bowl players is hard" "you usually find them in the first round, but sometimes you find them in later rounds."

Again, supports my contention that you merely googled for articles you thought would support your opinion, without actually reading them.

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit either.

Sure it does. You must've missed these gems:

Although it’s obvious that more Pro Bowlers come from the first round than at any other point in the draft, making a first-round selection is not a guarantee that the player will reach even that degree of success.

It’s more likely that he won’t.

Even counting, say, punters like Pat McAfee (Colts, No. 222 in 2009), only 2 percent of the Pro Bowlers came in the final round.

~15 paragraphs that can be summed up as "drafting pro bowl players is hard" "you usually find them in the first round, but sometimes you find them in later rounds."

Exactly what my premise is. Weird!

Again, supports my contention that you merely googled for articles you thought would support your opinion, without actually reading them.

Here are some other interesting tidbits that I apparently didn't read that support my contention:

If you want to take something simple out of this to remember for the future, it’s that an average draft class produces about 60 NHL players (between 51 and 69), and about 40 of them (between 36 and 49) will go on to play a significant career in the NHL (at least 300 games played).

There’s nearly a 70% difference between the seventh and first-round picks! That’s not to say that there can’t be some depth found in the final round picks, but it’s significantly less likely that you’ll see a player with star potential coming out of that round.

I know reading is hard, but keep with it, it'll be a rewarding skill for you. And serve you much better than accusing others of your own shortcomings.

Honestly, I think you did read this stuff and just don't like the fact it flies in the face of your world view. Either way I've exhausted my patience attempting to correct your vast ignorance.

Your premise is “drafting is luck.” The article concluded “drafting is hard.” These are not the same thing.
