Thank you so much for putting this list together. Blues fans know our scouts have recently hit in this area more often than not. I can not stand clowns that assume that a late first has no value because their team sucks at drafting.
Corey Perry, Mike Richter, Justin Williams…but yeah despite that I still think it’s a good trade for the leafs.
How good of a play-off beard can you grow in under 2 weeks ( end of the 1 st round).
“Past decade”.. the fact that you had to go as far back as 1985 to prove your point, actually proves mine
The problem with your data comparison is it assumes that the selections are random. This doesn't follow because some scouting staffs are objectively better than others at identifying NHL talent. While the averages across the NHL may be true, the Blues are objectively well above that average.
You realize that Dubas has used his first round pick in ROR trade. Can't see Sharks or Coyotes not wanting at least a first in a trade.
I disagree. Second round picks have significant value. Knies is not really much of an outlier as there have been significantly better players taken in the second round or later and he’s yet to prove himself at the NHL level.
What are you talking about? Although Tampa won last year it’s not like vasy destroyed them. Both teams matched up very well.
1. HF is filled with many different opinions and isn't a person.
Ya totally fair, the benefit of the 3rd team was strictly for Toronto and had no value to St Louis, they just couldn’t retain the extra 25% that Toronto needed.
The problem is that the bruins or lightning don’t spend 1sts on underachieving 30 something year old rentals….
Dont get too excited. I mean I understand they are better now but Justin Holl is still a dman on The Leafs so.......
They might think they should now which would be good news to other teams that are sellers

He scored the OT winner in Game 2 wtf does that poster mean "was he there"
