boubabi 4,725 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 For the Habs, I would say Zachary Fucale or Jacob De la Rose that were high second round draft picks (If we forget Collberg (33th OA) that was traded for Vanek at the time) Fucale is playing in the east coast and is behind Charlie Lindgren (FA) (and probably Mcniven) in our depth chart And del la rose stalling as an ineffective offensive player How about yours?

eaglesfan036 4,604 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Probably Laude Giroux.

eaglesfan036 4,604 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 But for real probably Scott Laughton. First round pick and looks like a fringe nhl player at best. Morin was expected to be a project cause hes growing into his bigger body Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/37053-what-your-team-most-disappointing-draft-pick-in-recent-years/#findComment-404367 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head Moderator frescoelmo 1,282 Posted January 19, 2017 Head Moderator Share Posted January 19, 2017 In the last 10 years I'd probably say Kyle Beach, dude has yet to play in the NHL and it's been 8 years or so... I recall a lot of hype the first few years after we selected him but he just never panned out. Otherwise probably Mark McNeil.

FacePuncher 1,343 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Pretty much every first round pick after Crosby. I guess Angelo Esposito was the most disappointing, considering he hasn't played an NHL game and I didn't even know we ever drafted him Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/37053-what-your-team-most-disappointing-draft-pick-in-recent-years/#findComment-404377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banackock 8,105 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Magnus Pajaarvi Svensson likely in the last 7 or so years or whatever. Oilers are shit at drafting though.

Oilers are shit at drafting though. Especially before we started our era of 1st OV's Even in that same era, it took a few tries of 1OA before the home run that was McDavid landed. Hall, Nugent-Hopkins, and Yakupov all wouldn't get 1OA in a re-draft of their seasons, and two of those players aren't even on the club anymore. To be honest the Oilers should be super happy they were able to secure 1OA for McDavid because if they hadn't I don't know how good that franchise would be looking right now. But I do know that considering several seasons in a row of 1st overall, the statement shouldn't be that they were lucky to land McDavid to help save that thing. Granted new GM and management now, but how that management team was allowed to stick around as long as they did boggled me. Anyway random. For the Caps I may say Tom Wilson. He's blooming into a top teir 3rd/4th line player, but considering he was a first rounder there was many who had hopes he'd be a Lucic type power forward who'd be able to put more points on the board. He's still young, but he hasn't really taken the steps towards being an offensive contributor. Thankfully his two way game has improved this season and he's become a solid PK guy but you hope for more than a depth fourth/third line guy with a first.

Kendrick 4,741 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Ours is hard because we've had a bunch of horrible picks under Lou. Patrice Cormier sucked a big one. Matt Corrente is one of our worst all-time but I think Matthias Tedenby could be the winner of that award.

Offensively anyway. Better than a majority of our 1st rounders. Maybe not 1st in his draft, but def. still a top player. Most consistent point scorer when we went through our struggles and a lot of people shit on him but I will always be in his corner. Stuck around when things were tough and got shafted once they started looking up. Eberle should have been the one to get dealt to New Jersey for Larsson. Of course with say a 2nd or such pick as well possibly. I just can't stand the guy. Weak on the puck, never in the corners etc. Lucic is slightly overrated in Edmonton too imo right now. Not doing horrible, not doing great either. Im still waiting to see some feisty play and him beat the shit out of someone.

Like Bigras and Butcher. Jost seems like he will replace whoever gets traded out of Landy and Dutchy. I hope it's Landy. I love him but... leadership has to be looked at with this team.

JardyB10 4,868 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yakupov. Especially because I knew that the Oilers never should have drafted him. I was wanking off fantasizing to the idea of Edmonton trading that 1st overall to literally anyone for some NHL-ready defenceman. Preferably Shea Weber (though I don't know how feasible that was at the time). But no, they had to draft ANOTHER forward, and a one-dimensional Russian at that. WCGW?

Juolevi is a blue chip prospect with tons of value. Virtanen can barely play at the AHL level and there are players like Nylander and Ehlers that were drafted around where he went and are well on to there NHL careers.
