And these bozos passed on the generational wing with the classic Russian snipe for an over-rated college defenseman.
Surely you don't mean Demidov who isn't even out of Russia yet. He's not helping this team.

Exactly.

Last core: how many one-dimensional offensive players did we have? One: Kane. We have one right now: Bedard. We need to start backfilling with guys who can play in all 3 zones at forward or defensive specialists.

Hence why I thought Leshie was a good pick.

Gotta love the generational wing bit. Guy hasn't played a minute of NHL hockey and he's comparing him to Bedard who himself is hardly generational. Call me wacky but someone with that label needs to be a guy that comes along every 20 years or so. Guys like Orr, Howe, Gretzky, Lemieux, Hull or McDavid. The kid is gonna be a fine player but just not at the level of those guys....might not even be better than Kaner. Now we're being told some kid in Russia is gonna be the next Mario. Please.....

I am talking about the hope for the future. I shouldn't be concerned about future right now? Because I don't think Bedard is going to produce enough goals by himself in 24 minutes a night.

He needed another superstar, maybe Nazar will be it.

They can just as easily get another player this draft that will be here and ready for the future.

DemiGods don't occur every draft and we would rarely have that high of a pick when they do.

It was a huge mistake that could cost us a ten year window.

Nope, never draft that high. Only #7, #1 and #2 the last three years and right there again this year.

Every year there is a new class of generational talent... it's marketing rinse and repeat. Pining over the one not picked is pointless. He may never actually make it to the NHL.
