Hopefully you don't care about being wrong because i think you are one of the poster, if not the one who has the lowest hit rate on his calls.
I was the 1st to call out Lefebvre
I was the main poster calling out MB's shit development
I kept being told Poehling, Romanov had more offense but I kept saying I don't see it.
I said rushing KK at 18 was mistake
I kept being told Jordan Harris won't sign with us and will sign with Boston despite how many times i said I heard he had every intention to sign with us. I was told Jake Evans wouldn't sign with us yet i kept saying I heard he would. I was told Struble when he had 1 goal would never get an NHL contract, I said he would. I was told for the previous 2 years that Tuch won't get a contract despite me saying all that time that both Struble and Tuch would get signed and would play in the NHL one day.
People got made when I said Mysak was not a legit prospect because he is small, slow, ave skater and lacks strength
I got shit for ranking Subban over McDongah in juniors
I got shit for saying Beaulieu was repeating his mistakes in Hamilton and was not progressing well, I got shit for saying Tinordi was struggling with consistency in Hamilton and that he was not progressing well. I got shit for ranking Lane Hutson 1st OA in Nov of '22. I got shit for pointing out Mesar's struggles with consistent effort how it's an issue. I got shit for pointing out Reinbacher was struggling with his consistency despite being told that he would start in the NHL this year which I said no way do I see that happening.
Have I been wrong? of course, so me one person that hasn't. Full time paid NHL scouts fail most of the time, why is that? because it's really hard to predict the future. I once got asked if Michael Ryder would make the NHL after the 2nd time he got sent to the ECHL, I said no as the skating/speed I thought would keep him out. I thought for sure Perezhogin, Danny Kristo, Collberg, would all be 2nd line RW's in the NHL. I bought into the Kostitsyn's, really thought both would have been very good NHLers. I thought Josh Brook was much better but even though he almost had a career ending knee injury, he was no where near the player I expected him to be in the AHL. I thought Norlinder was really turning the corner in the 2nd half of the season but then this past year he looked worse.
If you gave your opinion on say 30+ prospects a year for over 20 years, you would end up being wrong a good bit too as it's impossible not to be since the people that get paid to do this stuff as pros are wrong so often.
But if you honestly read my opinions and think I'm the one around here that doesn't know what they are talking about, that isn't the one that is often correcting posters that don't even know simple rules, by all means please skip over my posts and read all the other "well informed" opinions around here.
I'll also add that while I say up front I don't follow the draft much, I said I did not want Wright or Michov or Reinbacher I also would not have traded the 7th OA for Dach and would have kept the pick and taken Nazar. I also said before this summers draft that Demidov was the ONLY player I would consider over Celebrini for 1st OA. We'll see how these opinions turn out. Plus I said Hughes was more impressive in the NCAA then Tkatuck in their draft year.
