News: Shane Malloy: Canucks Are the NHL’s Worst Drafting Team

[FriendlyGhost92]

Between 2010 and 2013 the Penguins pick Guentzel, Rust, Maatta, Murray, Jarry, Blueger, Sundqvist and 7 other guys who played a 100+ games. That's pretty categorically not sucking at drafting.

Cool story bro. That four year period of adequate drafting is awesome. But considering we've already established that 2014-Present sucked, and the entire 2000s also sucked, a four year period in 25 years isn't really all that impressive...

Please rebut with how smart the team was to draft Crosby/Malkin/Staal/Fleury with top 2 picks...

What years are we talking? There’s a pretty clear way to measure this…

It was 06-15

11 players that played 200 plus NHL games. 62 picks.

Sounds to me like they should send that 15th overall pick to Toronto, you guys don't need it.

We suck at drafting. Juolevi, virtannen, podkolzin, I’m not really sold on willander either.

You’re just going to slide over Quinn Hughes and ep40?

Willander has looked great since drafted, what exactly don’t you like about him?

I find it hard to believe anyone is worse than my Oilers. Tyler Wright should never work in hockey again.

He'll be gainfully employed in L.A. shortly.

Never trust anyone named Shane.

Yeah. Back in the day I lent this kid Shane my copy of Duke Nukem 3D and he never gave it back.

Suzuki wasn't drafted by the Habs. One of the few trades where Bergevin fleeced someone and one of the few awful trades the VGK made.

Bergevin may have been a terrible GM, especially at Player Development, our AHL team was a train wreck for ages, but IIRC he was decent at trades.

don't get me wrong, I want nothing but our prospects to succeed. Heck i'm actually against trading our 1st rounders. But I'm not very excited about him. Seems kinda overrated. I hope he proves me wrong.

 

[eojsmada]

He clearly hasn't met Ken Holland

Indeed, the Habs have not been great at drafting, Bergevin didn't even want Suzuki, he asked for Glass haha

Still confused
What about his progression so far has been overrated?
