He fell in our lap and we still passed. I think they lock in on a player and can't pivot when the board falls their way. See: Bonk over Perrault. See: Jett over Buium. And even if you think we have too many small wingers or small D....Buium was part of the trade package for Quinn. So you can create the value you. Jett and Bink aren't moving any trade needles. I fear the same thing happed with Nesbitt. They seem like they are always trying to show how smart they are vs doing the right thing.
@FirstTake@stephenasmith Didn't the Ravens send a broken Jaire Alexander to the Eagles only to have him retire a week later?????? Did the Birds get the pick back?
Then fire Flahr if he's serious. Jett, Bonk, Nesbitt.... all drafted with higher rated players still on the board in the first round. How many times have done this??? York over Caulfield. Not saying these guys won't be pros but you need to hit in the first round. Tired of the "200 ft player that never really scored a lot at juniors that also isn't a great skater". picks. Other clubs have lapped us and that comes down to Management.
@theMFingIcon@_ChrisMaher Who compared him to Pronger? Said Buium was a better draft prospect than Jett. And ...as of know ..he is. Also has more points than York and runs the PP1 as a rookie. It's ok if you like Jett more- I don't and think we tried to outsmart everyone.
@theMFingIcon@_ChrisMaher Right. Because players never get traded. Oh wait....he was already traded once in the Hughes package??? But hey, Luchenko is having a nice year in the minors using your logic.
