Post-Game Talk: Hat-trick for Roslo-vic! Jets steamroll Ducks 9-3

[10Ducky10]

Messier was a 3rd rd pick. There were only 21 teams, so he was 48th overall. That's mid 2nd rd now. They were not nearly as scientific about drafting back then so early busts and late hits were both a lot more common than they are now.

That said there are still surprise hits in late rounds. But it is not a lot. It can look like a lot if you make a list of them but if you just look at each year's draft results there are maybe 1 or 2 a year plus a few other fringe players taken in the last 3 rounds.

'18 & '17 are too recent.
'16 had Jesper Bratt in the 6th. He looks pretty good.
'15 had Nutivaara in the 7th (and Niku). Dominik Simon in the 5th plus a few other players, including Appleton, who look like NHL'ers but not exactly stars.
'14 has about 6 NHL players coming from the last 3 rounds.
'13 has a few NHL'ers, not many.
'12 about the same as the rest. The closest to a star I see so far is Hellebuyck and goalies are different.
'11 had Ondrej Palat in the 7th and Josh Manson in the 6th. I've gone all the way back to the Jets forst draft and those 2 are the closest to 'star' players. That's 18 rounds, 540 players picked. 2-3 minor 'stars' and about 30(ish) players in total. That's less than the 1 or 2 per year that I thought I would find.

Yup, hockey great and legend Perry Turnbull went 2nd overall that year.

Ok now time for the big guns to score next game

Im looking at

Laine
Scheifele
Connor

3 goals each would be nice

What if each scores 5? I can sense the beginning of a stroke for the CEO of Sobey's...

We have a special team. Enjoy!

Goalie sucks
Trade Laine
Little is terrible
Myers is useless
Tanev is replacement level
Trouba wants out
Petan should be in the lineup
Where’s Dano when we need him?
LB should be the starter
Appleton is an AHLer
Free Niku
Scratch Morrow
Lemieiux won’t amount to anything
Rosie is underwhelming only can score on PP


Great reading after a win. We have nice depth and it’s finally starting to show. Looks like the only agreement is the anthem singers were good.

Some of your better work right here!

Perry is such a loser , hope Buff saw that for the next time we play that weasel .

Just seeing his face bugs me. He looks like that high school bully we all saw at school.

It’s okay, but you got bullied by a scrawny red head?

 

[Ducky10]

serious question. how did Perry play?

Like a dick.

Rhetorical question?
