This seems accurate.
Thank you for your service.Want to thank @forty_three for every time that I hear Jeff Carter's name.called in a play I follow it up with Fuck Jeff Carter
I think I would have like them better if they were primarily the off white with light and dark blue accents.I dig Elvis’ pads. Pretty sharp IMO
NyetMonahan for Bjorkstrand - Heck, I'll toss in Lucic as well.
He only got that right because Rick Dudley traded 1st overall pick for legit nothing - the 3rd-worst team in the league trading 1 overall for the right to swap picks the next season is so worthless the Panthers should've been contracted right there and then.For those wondering, yes I booed Doug MacLean, but not too loud.
When he said in his speech that he looks back on that 2002 draft a lot I said "because it's the only one you got right you fuckstick"
Got some laughs in my section.
Holy shit, I didn't realize that that pick was traded too. By doing nothing, the Pans could have had Nash and MAF?He only got that right because Rick Dudley traded 1st overall pick for legit nothing - the 3rd-worst team in the league trading 1 overall for the right to swap picks the next season is so worthless the Panthers should've been contracted right there and then.
That they let that guy then trade 1st overall AGAIN a year later is just insane.
They had Luongo, they could've picked Staal and had a Staal-Nash top line with a Vezina-calibre goalie.Holy shit, I didn't realize that that pick was traded too. By doing nothing, the Pans could have had Nash and MAF?
That almost makes the "What coulda been" top line of Nash - Kopitar - Voracek by 2007 seem less bad.They had Luongo, they could've picked Staal and had a Staal-Nash top line with a Vezina-calibre goalie.
Also could've used the additional 1st they got from NY for Bure in 02 for literally anything other than what they used it for. These guys could've had a fuckin dynasty lol
And yet Dudley's still employed by an NHL club (Florida again, go figure lol) and has been consistently since then while Doug somehow screwed himself out of gainful employment 5 years after finally getting the boot in Columbus.That almost makes the "What coulda been" top line of Nash - Kopitar - Voracek by 2007 seem less bad.
2nd line could have been Ladd - Fedorov - Brassard. Defense had Foote, Klesla, Hejda and Methot.
Kopitar and Ladd were the scouts picks. MacLean scoffed at Kopitar and traded down from the Ladd pick. Just listening to the guys he paid to advise would have made a much better team. That's before we go into the idea of missing out on big talents who went later. These are active guys he passed on against the advice of his own scouts.
