Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

Recency bias

But yes, it wasn't a good year but those kids were affected by covid more than the other drafts.

Not ready to buy your estimation yet.

You're welcome to circle around to admit that I was right whenever you're ready.
 
Slaf over Cooley, Wright and Nemec was dumb.

they made the same mistake this year too. Pick the big guy over the high end skilled guy.

think that will cost them big down the road. Although swings on guys like Hutson late may make up for it.
 
Oh I just realized Nemec is a d. Yeah that's an impressive year in the AHL. Okay he gets me somewhat horny. And Cooley. Wright.. Meh.
 
Wright is meh. I don't lament that at all.

Cooley is flash yes but jury still out there.

Nemec is a solid D but first overall?

Right now everyone is speculating on 19 year olds with very limited knowledge. Have at it though, just makes it more fun when the bust player actually doesn't bust.
 
Yeah it is after covid but keep thinking it isn't.

Nobody knows what to make of Slaf yet, none of you do anyway, but please, continue looking dumb purporting you do.
 
This is what you have which is better than many first overalls in his short tenure.

Absolutely horse shit analysis basing an opinion on short sample size or using his 16 and 17 year old stats against men.

But sure, I'll just rib you for a very long time if he pans out. Very long time. Massive cunts tend to have long memories.
 
I mean it’s not exactly hard to evaluate 1st overall picks. That’s the part of the draft that’s easy.

Also it’s probably never a good idea to take a winger first overall, unless they have legit generational skill. Pretty sure the only good winger 1st picks ever are Lafleur, Ovie and Kane.

much better off taking one of the centers with no generational talent available.
 
I'm not sure i've ever seen one "whoa" highlight from Slaf at any level, which is rare for any 1st round prospect, let alone 1st overall.
 
data > no data

I get why you hold out hope for Slaf. but I don't think you're gonna convince many folks here to change their minds on the quality of prospect that he is. especially when your response to the (albeit somewhat limited) data we do have is to dismiss it.
Better data than Joe Thornton.

Not trying to convince anyone, laying the groundwork for years of told you so and your analysis stinks. That's all. 🍻
