Agreed. I would take MacKinnon every time. I posed the question due to the fact Stone is outplaying MacKinnon in this series. Thought it would be an interesting debate.

I mean regardless Big Mac is a center. Stone a winger. That alone puts Mac more valuable

Pretty clear they just viewed Hischier as the better player, they were correct.

How is it clear?

People sure do say a lot of “things” and “stuff” but say nothing to Elaborate on why these things are so clear.

The Devils also chose Zacha over Provorov, so let’s not give the devils too much credit on they’re “clear” decisions.

I get the Patrick pass to a certain extent but IMO it’s severely flawed.

NEITHER nico or Patrick were projected as star players. They were projected as safe good players with little risk to bust. That they should have nice careers. Miro makar and Petterson were projected higher ceiling possible. Obviously more risk with that. My major problem with that is given the gift of lottery and moving from 13 to 2 omg if there ever was a time to swing for that high ceiling! Even if they drafted any of miro makar Petterson (take your pick hexy) and you miss at least it’s understandable that you took a swing. Instead hexy was sitting with a 3-2 count bases loaded bottom of the 9th and he knew he was taking pitch no matter what. He took the safe play. If that was Stevie y how would he have played that? With that said I don’t crucify hexy for it but really wish he’d have swung

I don’t think any of this is true, unless you have a link proving otherwise. All the talk was surrounding Patrick and Hechier, with the number 1 pick leaning towards Patrick. If there was even the slightest chance of higher upside for any other players, they would have been chosen.

They unfortunately had the 1 bad miss in that draft but you’re right, let’s go with your made up scenario when almost every team drafts based on what they deem the best player available, especially at the top of the draft.

One bad pick? Yeah, the Devils sure have been lighting it up with their high picks in recent years. That’s why they’re so great, right?

Isn't it a fact some in the Flyers draft room preferred another player over Patrick and were overruled by du fuhrer?

You really struggle to comprehend, you bring up that Zacha draft and then it goes right over your head.

How do you miss when you’re an organization who has been without a number one defenseman since Paul Martin and Martin is a stretch where. I use him as an example.

I can’t post link don’t know how but check out eliteprospects.com. They breakdown draft grades for many categories such as skating shot etc. read analysis and projections of top 5 picks predraft. Many publications that are well respected said no clear cut star with nopa

The only thing I can maybe blame nopa for is a few years ago he took some massive headshots in games. If he didn’t report symptoms from those hits I’d blame him but understand as player especially young might not want to for many reasons right or wrong. I think that may be the case because clearly the kid suffered multiple concussions and unfortunately it looks like it may affect his career. But other than that nopa shouldn’t be blamed
