Remember that time we had three first round picks? Those were the days!

I'm glad a bad decision wasn't made just to get into the first round. I think tomorrow we will see the hockey trades being made. One can only hope at least!!

Especially how well two of those three picks have turned out.

Might as well have only had one though.
After 10(ish) it's all a crap shoot

Detroit hands down won the draft.

Yeah, late 1st round picks are pretty overrated. Those Iggy/Bouw trades were spectacularly awful. Feaster definitely earned his pink slip.

Quinn Hughes was the guy I wanted once the Canucks were picking 7th. Wasn't sure if he would fall to us but so happy he did. Now hoping for Berggren or Wise in round 2.

The odds certainly go up but there’s a ton of players that never pan out. All I’m saying is although more picks keeps things interesting, it doesn’t necessarily guarantee success.

34% of first round picks never become NHL regulars... even though they all look good on draft night

Ya for sure as you go deeper even into the first round the chances drop off but there were some good players picked at the end of that 1st round. Feaster missed on the trades and then missed on the picks.

Completely unrelated to the last few hours, but I feel bad for Kotkaniemi. Broadcasting that lady's reaction at the time of his drafting will surely colour the immediate reaction in Montreal. Obviously her disappointment was shared with many...but broadcasting it side-by-side almost validates that reaction. Not to mention how dramatic it was. As if a prospect in that city needs any additional reason for their fans to be disappointed in them - he lasted like 2 seconds before those emotions were sewn.
I've watched this reaction about 50 times, and keep nervously chuckling at how screwed this kid is.

On the plus side, we can all move on now and not constantly complain about no first round pick.
