Right: Jacob Trouba is gonna be one hell of a defenseman. I can't be the only one who has him in his top 5 for the 2012 draft can I?

Also Filip Forsberg to the Caps is a steal.

Wrong: Lindholm?!? God what a stupid pick! At best he's a 24th overall pick! Forsberg and Trouba were right there!

Right: Lecavalier isn't gonna do **** in Philly

Wrong: This Giroux kid is only pretty good. 50 point guy at best IMO.

Only notable ones I can think of right now.

Wrong: After failing to make the team in 2010-2011, I expected Max Pacioretty to be at best a third liner.

Wrong: I was almost on suicide mode after we traded Halak in 2010.

Right: Max Pacioretty would produce at a PPG pace (or close to) away from Desharnais.

Right: Andrei Markov will still be good for 45+ pts. Due to the game he played, I never thought he was done.

Wrong: I thought Jordan Staal on the Canes would beat his best penguins season point wise so far wrong

Right: Clarkson undeserving of top 6 money or top 6 term

Wrong: Rick Nash is a shell of his old self and will not bounceback.

WELP.

I can't help but think of this every time someone says Mike Richards is done. Rick Nash played some really average hockey for a bit.

That being said you'd need a lot of faith to pick up that contract now.

Right: Giordano would eventually become our best defenseman (this was way back before he went to Russia)

Wrong: Tim Ramholt, Flames 2nd round pick in 2003, would become a better player than Shea Weber naturally, because he was drafted before him.

Right: The Oilers group of Something Specials was never good enough to take that next step

Wrong: Blake Comeau was finished in the NHL

Right: Reto Berra was always terrible, and whatever Roy saw in him... he was wrong.

Wrong: McElhinney had no NHL future. Still kicking somehow

Wrong- Aaron Ekblad was not going to be a top end player.(first year in the league and he is already playing in the all star game)

Right- A coaching change will not help the Leafs.

Wrong - I said Gaudreau would never amount to anything in this league.

Right - I knew MacKinnon would struggle a bit this season and that overall the Avs were going to regress. I didn't say it outright but I implied it in a few posts.

I'm more often wrong than I'm right, that's just a sample.

Toronto will continue to look foolish & not aquire a true #1 center.

Nazim Kadri will never be a 1st line player.
