Time to Retool... again...
Nobody really talks about how bad of a 1st round pick Brendan Gaunce was. 1st round pick, and Skeji / Pearson went a couple picks after him. Add him to the list with Hodgson / Juolevi / Virtanen / Jensen/ White of wasted 1st round picks.
Taylor Ellington is still the worst pick I've ever seen the Canucks make. Might be up there with the worst picks of any team ever.
An average sized defensive d-man from Victoria with almost zero numbers and he went 10 picks before PK Subban.
Stats:
Ellington 6'1, 200 lbs:
5 goals, 8 assists, 13 points, +5
Taken 33rd Overall
Subban 6'0, 200 lbs
15 goals, 41 assists, 56 points, +13
Taken 43rd Overall
Also that year the Canucks took Patrick White at 27 Overall over David Perron and Jamie Benn (another Victoria guy) somehow went in the 5th round.
Nuts.
