Pettersson and Hughes
I thought they were both too frail, but they've survived this long.

You’re that draftsman who is drafting the Billy Beane’s and Nolan Patrick’s 10 times out of 9, perfect specimen’s in all facets who score well on scouting reports, but you ignore the X-Factor as it don’t jive with analyticsRonning's Ghost wrote: ↑Mon May 23, 2022 6:44 pm Pettersson and Hughes

Re: “I was wrong about this player”
My biggest miss was Rene Vydareny.
How didn’t he become the next Bobby Orr, I’ll never understand.
Jason Herter and Olli Juolevi too I guess.
I’m beginning to think my judgement about superstar defensemen may be questionable.

Well poster Potatoe and I always believed Sedins would get there eventually.Carl Yagro wrote: ↑Mon May 23, 2022 4:56 pm The Sedins, everybody thought they were awful busts by their 3rd year but we know what happened.
"They'll be point-per-game players" we said.
Am I doing this right?

Kesler.
When he held out back then I thought efff him. Didn’t prove anything and he I thought he was being just a punk.
Then he went on to be an important part of the cog to several president trophy’s and SC run.
Sedona as well, really didn’t see that career come out like they did. We were applied with that team and 1-2 min cycle in the opposing end.
Good time back then.

You’re never wrong, you were just given the wrong information which is why adjustments are acceptable

The first (chronologically) that comes to mind on this site is Mathieu Schneider. I thought he'd be an Ehrhoff replacement on the PP
