So happy we got Hintz to make up for that Gurianov pick

My last (print) Draft guide. If anyone has 2016 let us all know, if not I’ll post some other old print material for us to waste the off-season with. I wrote the teams that drafted them above each player (cut off in the pictures) but only two got notes: 1) above Hanifin “To Car – steal!” 2) Above Zboril “Bos – WTF!”

There’s actually a lot of serviceable NHLers to downright great players that came from this draft.

Ahh yes, Zach Senyshyn at #47 for their rankings.

Barzal at 15 is actually just a damn steal given he’s a top 10 here

Wow what a loaded draft class! Too bad the Bruins didn’t have 3 consecutive first round picks that year because we probably would be such a wagon right now teams would be so afraid to face us.

Has to be one of the best draft classes ever. I think Kaprisov was late pick in this draft too

Step 1: Lose the lottery for McDavid
Step 2: Draft Eichel
Step 3: Lose Eichel too.
Step 4: ????????
Step 5: Win the Cup.

This draft will rival the 03 draft for number of solid and star players

These posts have been really cool. It’s interesting to look back at these rankings and where these guys landed.

Yeah this draft class is stacked.

Damn they really didn’t like Roope

Honestly kinda shocking Aho is not even in the top 100 yet got picked at 35

Such an amazing draft. Miss those Strome or Marner debates haha

Jeremy Bracco: “Skilled points machine soured scouts with his attitude”
Yeah that more or less sums it up

I have a feeling that 2023 is going to look a lot like this in 8 years. Monster draft class.

Still crazy to me how low Roope Hintz was ranked in the draft. Jim Nill and the Stars scouting team really hit a home run with that pick.

About Hintz: “I don’t think he’ll ever be a 50-point guy”
Hasn’t been below 50 since the Covid seasons.

Mikko at 10 was such a steal, sometimes I just marvel at Sakic’s hockey mind

“Lucky Oilers can’t botch it now, right?”
They did, in fact, botch it by trading away the #16 pick for Griffin Reinhart… the Isles ended up taking Matthew Barzal at #16.

Reinhart hasn’t played NHL/AHL hockey since 2018.
