  1. Let's take a walk down draft memory lane with the worst picks from every draft! What are YOUR thoughts on some of these busts? What do YOU think about my picks? And let me know, which of these players disappointed YOU the most? Let me know! #GravGang #RoadTo80kSUBS

  2. Just as a Sabres fan I'll throw out Marek Zagrapan ('05), Mikhail Grigorenko ('12), and Alex Nylander ('16) as their biggest busts.

  3. Watching Dal Colle with the Islanders, you wondered how he could have been a consensus #5 pick. It wasn't like the Islanders made a reach picking him. Every analyst had him going around that spot, but his deficiencies were so obvious even to just a fan that you wonder how professional scouts missed it. It's too bad because he seemed like a very nice kid and he worked hard. He just wasn't an NHL player.

  4. Btw, Sam Morin was hired by the Flyers the same day he retired as a player. He's one of their development coaches and is a big part of Briere's team.

  5. Haven't watched yet, but Yakupov takes the cake 100%, and the Oilers deserve every bit of the misfortune for picking him because it was OBVIOUS even back then that they should have picked a dman instead.

  6. And the best part of that Bourgault trade was the Oilers turned him and Tyler Tullio into Matt Savoie. No idea how they did it, but I still can't believe Jeff Jackson pulled that off.

  7. For Kravtsov and Andersson it wasn’t a lack of skill but lack of effort, maturity, and a positive attitude. If they were willing to comply with what the rangers thought was best for their development I think we would be seeing them as stars on the Rangers.

  8. I have some hope for Bourgault Belleville is so stacked this season and if he can get a top 6 spot on the roster he should produce, Boucher I have 0 hope for even being a fringe NHLer at this point

  9. Yeah i hate the way the Devils used Holtz never really gave him much of a chance with skilled player like Hughes and Bratt they just liked keeping him on the 3rd of 4th line and that wasn't what he was drafted for he was expected to be a guy to come in and get goals hard to do that when he has 3 or 4th line to fringe AHL talents to be his line mates.

  10. I would say Strome was the bigger bust in 2015. He’s definitely turned his career around recently, but when it comes to his time in Arizona, he was a complete bust. Especially compared to the several superstars drafted after him.

  11. Glennie was similar Patrick he just had Inuries.
    Cody Hodgson another guy.
    And I liked Griffin Reinhart and that Oil Kings team HenrikSamualsson,Mayo,Ewanyk,Foster,Brossoit,Lowe,Kulda,Foster.

    As for Jets 2.0 guys Vesalainen I think or Burmistrov they could have been NHLers but leaving for KHL. And not being ok with roles.

  12. The one thing about my bruins in 2015…..we traded Dougie Hamilton and Lucic.

    Rumor had it we were trying to move up and grab fellow masshole Noah Hanafin or other fellow masshole/BU TERRIER Jacky Eichel…..

    When we drafted Senyshyn, it was reported that Toronto was looking to grab him. I believed Donny panicked and took Senyshyn to ensure Babcock wouldn’t get him

  13. It's still so crazy to me that Boston wouldn't just straight up take the 3 best players available in 2015

  14. Lol still gotta think Virtanen is the worst in 2014. Not only the lack of success, but the laziness and off-ice issues.
    Also DeBrusk for Juolevi is an… adequate trade-off.

  15. Still to this day, I did not like the Boucher pick for Ottawa. I get why Dorion at the time wanted him, but he was a huuuuuge reach and would have likely still been on the board in the 2nd round.
    He is, however, training with Giroux, so let’s hope this pays off and he has a monster season, injuries aside.

  16. Don Cherry featured devastating hits in one of his segments (or touch icings back then) and said James Shepard was never the same after a boarding hit.
    But I see his stats and agree with you he wasn’t putting up numbers even before the hit

  17. post 2004 lockout its not like its 1996? Marchand and Marty St Louis thrived in this time so Brule should have been fine it it was size.
