2025 Draft

[GrandWazoo]

David Fischer's another one. Fischer's probably had the most impact on me; I've stopped making excuses for prospects that plateau/regress because of it.

To this day, he still might be one of the most efficient skaters I've ever seen. There was a development camp I went to, I think it was 2008 or 2009, when they were doing skating sprints and timing the players. You had Pacioretty, who looked like a man among boys, who skated hard, but his skating looked like he burned all of his energy. Then you had Fischer, who wasn't as fast but not far off, but he looked like a fish in water and like he could have skated that way for a very long time before being tired.

Unfortunately for him, nothing else ever happened beyond his skating.

We live and we learn.

I think it was Ben Kerr that said before the draft that he blew all the interviews, got referred to as the idiot during the session, and was on most teams Do Not Draft lists. Oh the disappointment when we ended up drafting him after that.

For me it was Ben Maxwell, I really thought he would be a good one, stylistically reminded me of Brad Richards.

That was Gare Joyce in his book, yeah.

 

[GrandWazoo]

That was Gare Joyce in his book, yeah.

Yeah it surfaced in the book as well but it was also brought to light on this very board before the draft happened, pretty sure it was Ben.

I feel Fischer predated Kerr being on this board.

 

[Habspatrol]

Yeah, I just checked. BKerr signed up here in April 2012.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Yeah, I just checked. BKerr signed up here in April 2012.

Maybe it was Grant then?? I don’t remember the poster but I remember the event quite vividly

Yup Maxwell for sure . I thought Bitten would be a good energy fourth liner

 

[GrandWazoo]

I liked Bitten too.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Once Bitten, twice Pezzetta.

 

[Habspatrol]

Once Bitten, twice Pezzetta.

Once Bitten, twice Kostitsyn.

 

[Habsy]

One bad pun sucks, twice is painful

 

[Habspatrol]

At least mine was factual.
