The_Admiral Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 John Forslund is extremely overrated.I don't know what Forslund's rating is, so to speak, but he's a very good play-by-play man whose voice unfortunately sounds funny when he says "SCOOOOORES." Flames traded another failed first round pick, this time to the Hurricanes. In what world was Greg Nemisz ever worth a first round pick.Rutherford's not giving up on anything! How can you when the Staals could come out of retirement at any moment? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one of note over the last 15 years has been Dion Phaneuf. (Baertschi and Monahan still too young)Soon you'll be able to throw Mark Jankowski in the list of failed first round picks, but according to Jay Feaster he'll be the best player from the 2012 draft by 2022. That's if he made the NHL by 2019. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 It's always been a very intriguing idea to me whether you would want a straight-forward PP instead of a penalty shot, if given the choice. The percentages are pretty even going back over 15 years, really. I mean, with Jonathan Toews, yeah, you want the penalty shot, I imagine. With your average checking line guy? Probably not.

Not exactly the three brightest souls on the planet, but I get having bad runs in draft, but nobody is as bad as the Flames have been over the last decade and half at drafting. It's probably a bit of both, the organization has never been high on European talent, so their Euro scouts are bare bones and when it comes to North America I don't even know.They've gotten a lot better in recent years with finding Markus Granlund, Johnny Gaudreau, Jon Gillies (hopefully future contributors that aren't just replacement level guys) and the likes of TJ Brodie who's quickly becoming a really solid defenseman who's only 23. The system is getting better and hopefully now we can finally get something going with team depth, because I'm pretty sure 4 drafted players on the roster is currently the least in the league.

monkeypower Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 You could look back earlier to see some more Flames draft gaffes. In 1990, the Flames traded the 20th overall pick to New Jersey for the 11th.The Flames took Trevor Kidd with the 11th pick and the Devils took Martin Brodeur with the 20th.
