“I was wrong about this player”
A thread about a guy you may have been wrong about. You either thought the player was really good and he fucking stunk or maybe you thought the guy stunk and he turned out poorly.
Erik Gudbranson - Gesus I thought he was the second coming of Scott Stevens. He’s a modern day Murray Baron at best.
Tanner Pearson - underrated this player
Tyler Motte- proved me wrong
I’m sure I have more. Will have to research and will add at will. Am curious if Doc ever screwed up a player evaluation or if Dude will just blather “adjustments”
It’s weird. Some folks need to win the internet at all costs just to have a good nights sleep.

Re: “I was wrong about this player”
Great idea for a thread, Blobberino!
I can't believe you didn't list Olaf first on your list, LOL!
I'd have to admit that watching the Knights and his stint on the Finnish juniors, I thought we'd have another steady Salo kind of player. Nothing dynamic, but holy shit, he's right up there with the top-10 busts of all-time.
Always go back to 99 for some great examples...
The Sedins, everybody thought they were awful busts by their 3rd year but we know what happened. Conversely, guys like Comrie and Havlat came out of the gates early but faded quickly into obscurity.
Some guys you can quickly peg, but others take a longer time to prove you wrong.

Is this thread only for all the players Blob was wrong about?

Wrong name for this thread, shit the Sicilian Salami Slicer can’t even get that right. Should be The Adjustments Thread

Re: “I was wrong about this player”
Ok ok lol
I was wrong about Brad Hunt. He looked like shit early and really picked it up.
I was also wrong about juolevi as he seemed to be a pretty good skating dman coming out of being selected. I'm still pretty surprised how shitty he ended up

Doyle forgot a few, he hated the Miller trade, wanted to draft Nick Ritchie, loved Keith Ballard!

Re: “I was wrong about this player”
FFS people - Blobby starts a decent fun thread, and you have to shit on it / troll him ?
I've been wrong about a few - pretty much every young player that shows some potential on this team has me engraving the Calder for them.
Gaudette? Hobey Baker winner - thought we stole one there! So many times he seemed to start pulling it together, then.... well, we all know....
Tyler Madden? Never saw the kid play, but thought it was a mistake to send him to LA for Toffoli. Turns out it wasn't that big a deal either way.
Ballard? I thought he would be a solid Dman with a punishing hip check - oops.
Fuck... this is going to turn into a depressing thread...
Krutov..... sigh....
