idk about all that. i remember him being a late 1st-late 2nd draft selection range from prospect analysts/rankings in lead up to the draft. perhaps there's some size bias in a few of the publications/sources, but not every.

I don't think there was a ton of consensus on him. A couple of rankings had him in the 3rd round I thought.
If he were a couple of inches shorter, he would've almost certainly fallen way down the rankings. His mobility was so bad, I don't know how any scouts thought he could bring that up to an NHL level - and they probably didn't, really...they just thought he'd round out into a big body force on the ice that would cover those flaws.
Swinging for the Chara fences but the pitch was unhittable...

Thanks for your help, especially the advice on ublock origin lite, it works great!
(Ublock origin lite + Chrome + Mac M1)
Now I just need to figure out how to fix my HF log in problems... its killing the vibe.
Exogenously inflicted breaks from HFBoards is not much fun.

Ublock Origin is good, I use it on all my devices.Jets game. Unlovely, no luck, no bounces.
Techical problems: Couldn't join the play by play yesterday, this website kicked me out. I got back in briefly and noticed the adblocker I have was disabled, so bombarded with Home Depot ads.
Somehow got in this morning (on this page only), but if I switch pages I'm out...
Question for all -> what is the best current adblocker on Chrome? Thanks!!

You can't use the original uBlock Origin in desktop Chrome now (and I think it will be unavailable in Edge shortly as well). You need uBlock Origin Lite. The original Origin still works on Firefox though.
You could never use uBlock on mobile Chrome...because Google needs to keep that sweet ad money going so they can, I dunno, fund the oligarchy maybe? But it works on mobile Firefox.
Let me tell you, it's a whole different experience with uBlock blocking all ads. When Chrome kaiboshed it, I noticed immediately when I started seeing ads everywhere, so I installed Lite, which seems to be doing a good job. Not today, Satan...
The original uBlock origin used an API that's been phased out of Google's extension framework for security reasons (the old framework allowed extensions access to too much of your browsing data). uBlock Origin Lite works with the new framework and is still effective.

If it's "not supported" by chrome anymore, that's news to me, because I'm still not seeing any ads.

I might have to look into that, if I can make the transition with no real disruption, then it seems like it would be an easy choice. But for now I'll try this 'lite' version.
Not sure if it rolled out for everyone at the same time but as of Windows Chrome version 133.0.6943.142, which released last week, uBlock Origin is not supported (the icon is crossed out if you check your extensions). If you're not autoupdating Chrome then maybe you haven't got the latest version yet?

Never mind the fact that Chara was a third round pick in one of the weakest drafts in NHL history (‘96).
Chara seems like one of those unicorn players that you’re not going to ever be able to reliably project, similar to Dustin Byfuglien.
Idk how easy just to label a consensus in that draft range though. There's usually a lot of variability since prospect value tend to flatten after the top 10, and usually late 1st - mid 2nd they're kind of interchangeable to a degree.
Here is some individual ranks

I waffle back and forth between Firefox and Chrome. Kinda depends what I'm doing. Generally I trust Firefox more, which is to say more than not at all. Maybe a little.
I have adblock plus which is fine for all the browsers, but never tried Ublock.
Comments like this are just ridiculous.
First, because playing a bottom pair D who makes some mistakes is something that EVERY team does.
Second, because I am sure the other players appreciate the fact that the coaching staff give players a chance to improve and don't feel like every mistake might cost them their spot
Third, WE ARE THE NUMBER ONE TEAM IN THE LEAGUE. That has a lot to do with coaching. Im sure the players are very happy with the Staff, and especially Arniel who seems to be extremely well liked and respected.
Just because you dont want Stanley in the lineup doesn't mean the team is up in arms about it.
Yes, if only all of those hockey professionals were as smart as you!
Not like they didn't like build and coach the top team in the best league in the world or something.
Maybe you can build a bunch of robots that will play exactly the way all of your charts and graphs say they will - then you'd be super happy! You wouldn't have to worry about the many complexities and intangibles of a team sport like hockey!!!

Whiteout Is Coming.
Every 3rd pairing has been benched for mistakes ... so why would Stanley get special treatment was my point.
This goes for any work place ... if you treat your employees differently you are going to run into problems.
Good read from Sportsnet.
Stanley reminded of small margin of error as Jets gear down for playoff drive
Though Jets defenceman Logan Stanley had a solid five-game stretch after the 4 Nations, his overall body of work hasn’t been strong enough to justify an everyday role on a Cup contender. Jacob Stoller tells us why.
If its too long to read here's a tidbit ...
"We’ve seen 51 games of Stanley. Enough to know what he is — and what he isn’t.
With Luke Schenn now in the fold, Winnipeg has added a player who embodies everything that it hopes Stanley becomes.
The 35-year-old, two-time Stanley Cup winner Schenn excels at clearing net-front traffic, winning one-on-one battles and killing penalties, and he’s registered the third-most five-on-five hits per 60 minutes of any defenceman this season (15.43). And as a veteran of 1,057 career games, Schenn knows when to pick his spots. He may be five inches shorter than No. 67, but there’s no denying he checks all the boxes of what Winnipeg wants on its third pair. "

Thanks - it worked great until yesterday but then I found I needed to replace with ublock origin lite. Back to normal with Chrome as my browser.
This is an odd defense of Stanley - appealing to the authorities who were so clearly wrong about him in the first place.
I find it hard to believe anyone is still defending Stanley. He's not what you'd call a "fan favorite" (at least among Jets fans...Jets opponents probably love him).
If the smart people had said "Hey, this guy is a bad pick here and he's being overvalued because he's huge" and then he'd turned into a Top 4 defender, then maybe you'd have a case. But the prediction became reality.
He's a borderline 3rd pairing defenseman who's been a liability on an otherwise pretty excellent team. A giant organizational blind spot, sunk-cost fallacy in action, who's been given unlimited chances to improve while the Jets let other defensemen walk away for nothing or die on the vine.
The best we can do is shrug resignedly and accept the fact that they're never giving up on this guy...no matter what it costs.
Also, I don't know why you're complaining about my robot army...and saying my post was a hissy fit. Seems like a bit of an ad hominem (but I guess I do often mock your terrible judgement, so turnabout is fair play
)
