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.

 

[Angler]

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.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

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'

 

[Ulysses31]

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

 

[Ulysses31]

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.

 

[HabsCode]

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.

I don’t think you understood the point of this thread.

It’s to laugh at your own bad takes. Not point out the ones of others.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

He had good stats outside of fumbles in his rookie year. But it was mostly bumped up by 4 great games against bad teams. But he's regressed significantly since then.

Looks and plays like an off brand Eli Manning, running aside. Will be interested to see what direction they go in next year

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Plays nothing like Eli. I feel like that comparison wouldn't be made if he played for another team. He can't even dream of being Eli Manning.

 

[Sheppy]

I loved the Bruins trading for Loui Eriksson....

 

[HockeyVirus]

I've had a few times I was blatantly wrong on here and ate crow. Most notably, I will say I was a detractor of the Panthers cup potential..

 

[cjm502]

I wasn't the happiest about the Wings taking Seider at #6 when the guy I wanted Yzerman to pick (Zegras) was still on the board. Turns out, the Wings front office knows a lot more then I do.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Want to be respectful of this site’s flaming rules so I won’t name any names

Once again, and you should have really figured this out ten minutes ago, the point of this thread is not to attack other posters.

Re-read the thread's subject line as many times as you need.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

I try to be fairly cautious but I was staunch that Lucas Johansen was going to be a very good #3D if not a #2D. The guy straight up busted and only played 9 NHL games this far. Turns 27 in 9 days

His brother has fallen heavily from grace too right out of the league last year at only 31 years old

 

[Crow]

Really thought we had a special player with the size and skill to be a 1C akin to Ryan Getzlaf in Kirby Dach.

Just wanted to share one of the worst takes I’ve seen on this site because it makes me laugh and I thought it might bring some amusement/joy to other posters. Didn’t think I was breaking rules, but guess that’s my bad.

For the record, I’ve already posted what I consider to be likely my worst take on this site. It’s at the top of the page (post #451).

I thought Corey Perry's skating would prevent him from ever being an NHL regular.
