Stevie Y has done a great job fixing the mess Kenny BC Holland left behind, 3 great draft picks in a row since taking over. Seider, Raymond, Edvinsson. I think Rob Blake has to rebuild the rebuild or they need to fire his ass

Speaking of OJ...I guess he got injured in practice for the Panthers before he ever saw the ice and has yet to play a minute for them.

What a dud

Still a lot better than you gave him credit for and a lot better than Olaf. No idea how someone could completely write off the three kids in Colorado. “Not even worthy of being first round picks”

Yet you STILL can’t say Olaf was a shitty pick. Agenda much?

Was Turcotte a shitty pick at 5th overall?

I don’t know yet. He was drafted two years ago. I don’t tend to shit all over players months after they were drafted. Olaf was drafted five years ago. Turcotte is 20. Olaf is 23.

1 goal 4 assists in 8 games in the AHL

For comparison reasons 8th overall pick from the 2020 draft Jack Quinn has 6 goals 6 assists in 8 games in the AHL.

Your Boi Turcotte (drafted 5th) is not looking good, you know it

He’s not my boi. I said he looked good at the WJC, probably USA’s second best player at the tourney. The same USA team you cheered for.

He’s 20 years old. I’ll wait a bit before calling him a bust. A disappointment for sure, but not a bust yet. Olaf is a bust.

I’m starting to like what’s brewing in Buffalo now that they’ve cleared out the Primadonnas. Blake needs to learn from their recent moves

Cozens
Dahlin
Power and Rosen from 2021
Quinn
Krebs
Tuch

Got 2 firsts in 2022

Kenny BC Holland’s last four 1st rd draft picks in Detroit

Zadina - could’ve had Hughes
Rasmussen - could’ve had Necas or Suzuki
Cholowski - could’ve had
Svechnikov - could’ve had Boeser

Does this make you feel better about the 4-6-1 Canucks?

Anthony Duclair is quite the salvage story. He already has 8 goals in 10 games in Eff-El-Eh
