My favourite draft over reaction that I can recall was from 2007 when Angelo Esposito (0 NHL games played) and Nick Petrecki (1 NHL game played) were plummeting.
The Flames traded down from 18th to 24th and 70th to take Backlund. Many people actually liked Backlund prior to the draft so the outrage for him wasn't obscene, but several posters lost their minds over not taking Esposito or Petrecki.
