Love these type of vids! Thx bro!
this guy needs more recognition
Hey man! How do i reach out.
Just proves scouts jobs are like weather announcers
Best bang for the buck other than Kutch….Karlson at 55…consistently terrible drafting..Arizona
Thanks man! I've already reached out multiple times.
Goes to show how nobody really knows who is going to succeed in the league. Another case is Henrik Lundqvist, a Hall of Fame goalie who was drafted in the seventh round.
Often Russian players are picked low because of the process it takes to bring them into the NHL
Draft Day is a joke. Martin St.Louis is the living proof.
This AI narration sucks
Prowess.
Я в Москве в 2011 Кучерова видел в составе ЦСКА…
what about Alex Burrows? undrafted. isn't a team in the league that would have loved to have him in his prime
10 to 15 in the NHL. The rest, WHO??
You can do this with any draft year. Some players are on their way up and others are on their way down.
Nice video! Your next video should be about the players picked before Kirill Kaprizov
Lucky arent ? Patrick roy traded him in the junior
Top 10 picks: All solid NHLers
11th onwards: What happened.
Waiting for a response. Thanks!
Lol imagine the oilers with kuch
"Exavier Oullette" 😂 😂
One with Jason Robertson would also be entertaining
Two big trades that involved Kucherov that never went through.:
1. In 2015 draft, we offered him and the 19th pick to panthers for the number one pick Ekblad, I think we offered a little more but that was the base.
2. The year we won 60 games and got swept by the blue jackets, that offseason there was a trade offer Kucherov for Draistl not sure who said no.
I’m glad both didn’t go through, both amazing players but Kucherov skill, and drive is what made us win back to back cups. I been a bolts fan since 98. Lecavalier is underrated!
