Worst takes you've had on this site?

[stl76]

There was a point prior to 2019 I was doubling down on the idea that the Blues should trade Binnington and keep Copley. That seriously might be my worst.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

I thought Matthews was the 1B to Mcdavids 1A akin to Sid and Ovi after Matthews’s hart year

Boy was I wrong

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

That Wahlstrom was going to become a Stamkos.

 

[NotCommitted]

I don't know if I ever voiced these out loud, but I thought Rantanen was overhyped and would become just another big bodied middle-six winger. On the other hand I thought Kakko was a sure pick, destined to be a very good 2nd liner at worst. Hellebuyck maybe becoming an average NHL starter with luck etc...

 

[All Mod Cons]

The whole Laine vs Matthews thing has to be high up for many people.

 

[Bring Bak Damphousse]

Hated Draisaitl being picked over Bennet, thought he was going to bust.

Yeah, im never going to be gm,.

Oof, I was convinced we were missing out on a franchise center when we drafted Price over Brule.

The people with the worst takes will never admit it... You aren't going to see them posting in this thread.

Mine was that Quinn Hughes would never be a strong playoff player. I thought he'd be too soft and I was wrong.

Custard

Idk if I ever posted it here, but at one point I thought Olli Maatta was going to be one of the top defensemen in the league, at least offensively. He had some flashes early in his career that looked like he could really develop into a top guy.

Granted, he had some various other things going on that didn’t help his development, but it just turned out to be an awful take.

I remember questioning whether Caps should have drafted Olli Maata instead of Tom Wilson

Here’s one for the future: Mitch Marner is the best player on the leafs.

 

[troyerlaw]

Too many to count.

Same here. Whenever Caps let some borderline player move to different team, I always think it's a huuge mistake. 'What are we gonna do without Brett Leason??' ... 'Joe Snively is a gamer, that's gonna come back to bite us'

I recall hfboards not liking the idea of trading Markstrom for Luongo as this proposal was proposed by a Panthers fan, but you know. Canadian teams often have more enemies than not. We than successfully traded luongo for Markstrom. That threat vanished.

Samuel Girard is a = dman to quinn Hughes.

oh man, the list goes on. His site is full of hypocrites.

wanted DRW sign jake gardner be4 he signed with canes

EDIT: also cant be too hard on yourself for bad takes sometimes, most of the time we lacking the kind of inside info GMs n co have

I wanted Zadina over Tkachuk.

I wanted Drysdale or Rossi over Sanderson.

rossi has a good stat line this year so far. looking like he gonna be at least a solid 2C if not better.

i wanted rossi over raymond and dont feel too bad about it. Lot of ppl saying sanderson really good tho, but personally dont watch enough sens to know 1st hand.
