Prospect Info: First round pick #26 The environmentally friendly Liam Greentree

[KingsFan7824]

So do we put the pill up now about who likes and who hates the pick so when people come back in 3 to 5 years saying what a shitty pick we made they can really back it up by saying they knew it from the beginning?


I like the pick, big kid, good hands, goes to the middle. Drafted right where he was believed to be taken. Was projected anywhere from 10 to 25.

Let’s see how our Development team handles (wrecks) him.

It's a draft pick. Unless you're talking McDavid, nobody has any idea. Actual draft pick history proves that. If Daigle goes to Pittsburgh(1st overall in the league), or Montreal(Cup winner), in 1993, does he end up a better player? Is he the great 1st overall pick he was supposed to be? Or does he still not care about hockey?

Troy Aikman was thrown to the wolves, and ended up a Super Bowl winning QB. Ryan Leaf had every tool possible, and ended up eventually being arrested for burglary, among various other things.

The Kings could be terrible at developing, and he ends up an all-star. They could be great, and he's the next whoeverthef***.

You talking about luck again? Why are you obsessed with arguing about luck? You want to absolve everyone working in pro sports of any accountability?
Should they even have employees for scouting and drafting? Or just have teams pick players out of hat and call it a day

Bad luck is a flaw.

It’s simple isn’t it. If you do the right things to be in a position to be lucky, you are lucky more often. Some players seem to get luck luck when they always get a rebound off the goalie when they go to the net. What doesn’t get noticed so much are the times they go to the net and the puck does not go to them.

If you’re constantly unlucky you are consistently doing the wrong things. The rare lucky moment doesn’t change that. That’s my long winded, obtuse way of saying I agree with @DoktorJeep and @All The Kings Men
