As I said before define "impact", not the meaning of the word , but what qualifies as impact for that 2nd or 3rd round player?

Gino Odjick 5th round 1990
Jiri Slegr 2nd round 1990
Micheal Peca 2nd round 1992

Scott Walker 5th round 1993
Mathias Öhlund 13th overall
Brent Sopel 6th round 1995
Brad Ference 10th overall
Matt Cooke 6th round 1997

Other than these players Leftcoaster is right the mighty Quinn was not so mighty at drafting. The list of crap shoots he picked in the 1st round alone is enough to gag a maggot. Its hard to look at with some of the players that went who he should have picked.

Trading however he was the man. Loved that guy.

back in those days a friend of mine used to work for the canucks as a semi active player. He told me inside info frequently. On drafting he told me about a few years of drafting who it was quinn was big on. That quinn really wanted to draft Jagr and instead was talked into taking I think it was nedved by mike penny. Huge mistake.
Pretty sure he mentioned Keith Primeau as well.

That is why the draft is such a crap shoot. In the top 10 that year there was also Scott Scissons and John Slaney. Martin Broduer went 20th.

Michael Renberg, Geoff Sanderson, Doug Weight, Jozef Stumpel, Sandis Ozolinsh, Steve Staios, Ray Whitney, Darren McCarty, Bryan McCabe, Brendan Morrison, Jamie Langenbrunner.

And those were just between 90 and 93.... or in other words I think you missed a bunch.

The Leafs will sign him and flip him for two seconds at the deadline

Alan Strachan: Steven Stamkos had no intention of signing with the Maple Leafs and they didn’t really want to sign him. It’s still too early for the Leafs to go after a veteran star player.

Alan Strachan: Believe that the Maple Leafs will eventually get John Tavares.

Well that didn't take long

Still a chance that Leafs get dinged for attempting to circumvent the cap on the Stamkos negotiation but no they didn't really want to sign him.

Amazing

Hello folks,

Was up for most of the night covering the British Open and didn't see any of Lefty's epic round. I'll get to see him tonight.

So, here's today's blog: Richard Bachman and a bit of musing on Juolevi's entry-level contract.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again


BTW....he cheated on that one.

Cheated lol give me a break

To me you were validating not picking in the second round, which is silly, just because you don't always hit on the second round pick doesn't mean you shouldn't use the pick.

From here on in I think it's extremely important for Benning and company to use their 1-2-3 round picks and acquire more if possible.

picks vs players...

I'll take a Sven for a 2nd.

JB said u build a team in any way u can. Draft Trade or UFA.
Cannot have tunnel vision. Hardest working GM's look at all possibilities.
