CPHL Draft vs NHL Draft

[Jiri Hrdina]

Man looking back I really thought Zagrapan was going to be something. Total bust.

Here's where I dealt him. I was big on Semin at the time.

Team: Philadelphia Flyers
- Semin, Alexander (LW) NHL
- Mihalik, Vladimir (D) ECHL
- 2006 1st Round Draft Choice (mon)


Team: Minnesota Wild
- Weber, Shea (D) AHL
- Zagrapan, Marek (C) ECHL

I also always forget that I drafted Letang. So I looked at the deal where I traded him. What a weird group of names. The Zus was always an awesome sim player.

Team: Florida Panthers

- Lindros, Eric (RW) NHL
- Pouliot, Benoit (LW) AHL


Team: Minnesota Wild

- Handzus, Michal (C) NHL
- Letang, Kris (D) ECHL

Have fun with it, we hold our draft before the NHL. History is not going to look back kindly on your picks as well. That's the fun

I know that. It was a joke made in good spirit

I said have fun with it and provided the link to my selection

I am the one after all drawing attention to it... hence my post and the chosen one gif

In fact, I'm notorious for pointing out my poor draft history for our enjoyment

All jokes aside, thank Clapton for 2015

Everyone hears about the successes and remembers things in a positive light. I think it's important to celebrate the losses as much as the victories

We as fans judge GMs in hindsight for their misses but very rarely do we look back at our own thinking at the time. So many armchair GM's say they would have selected Barzal but the reality really isn't that way

One of the things I love about our draft, it shines a light on exactly that and I love it for that

I love looking back at my terrible draft record too. It is amazing how players turn out or not. Love seeing the Latendresse comments.
