Rasmus_ Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 I still don't like this pick. He could be okay, however at this point I am still calling this a reach and they should have traded down.

I am very high on Peterka, otherwise again this draft is a wash. I cannot say I know much of anything on the later round picks in the 6th and 7th round.
Second Line Center Posted October 12, 2020 Report Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) I remembered we couldn't pass on: Reinhart Nylander Casey That or we "loved" the picks and Samson was a cant miss #1 C. I'm glad we passed on the 5'9 guy for someone that appears to be developing well and can put the puck in the net. Edited October 12, 2020 by Second Line Center 2

Casey is interesting and I would agree about that. The 5'9" guy just destroyed the OHL and is built like a literal tank. It will be very interesting to see how that progresses.

Because all I remember about the draft was it lacked the high end forwards of all the other drafts and a big debate between the Sam’s and Reinhart’s hockey intelligence. I couldn’t imagine anyone with Sam’s pedestrian physical skills to be considered a can’t miss.

I remember that in 2014 it was Bennett was the fast one, Reinhart the smart one, and Draisaitl the big one. Bennett failed, Reinhart I was hoping for more, Draisaitl fixed his skating and took off.

Everyone knew what you were going to get out of him and we got exactly that. Bennett had all of this upside because of his speed, and Draisaitl was such a swing or miss because of his skating. For a team that couldn't afford to miss we made the right choice 2

Your post reminds me how what initially transpires is not how things will ultimately transpire. Montreal drafted Sergachev and then traded him to Tampa for Drouin who was one of the top picks in the draft. We drafted Nylander and then traded him for Jokiharju. Casey may still be a work in progress or a bust. We still don't know for sure. Taylor Hall was the first pick for Edmonton and then was traded to Jersey and then went to Phoenix. Now he is in Buffalo. There is nothing static about initially good decisions or less good decisions. The decision that you think is an up decision can turn into a down decision and the down decision can ultimately turn out to be an up decision in the long run. It's a crazy business. 1
Gabrielor Posted October 12, 2020 Report Posted October 12, 2020 I gotta say, I read a lot about him after we picked, and there was a lot of Ottawa 67ers fans who'd routinely say Quinn outplayed Rossi on nights. I think Quinn has more going for him than I gave credit for. I still think Rossi is going to be a star, and we'll regret passing on him. Rooting for Quinn though, just like I genuinely rooted for Nylander after hating that pick. 1
