“We” also “said there were better options” to Brady Tkachuk in 2018..

And we were right. Hughes is awesome

Ask me how many teammates went to his birthday party…

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

even Bolduc stood up for Guhle when he was creamed last night

I had Hughes then Tkatchuk as my wish list that year. But self-critically, I had KK after them.

Hughes for me for upside , but Brady was the safest pick

Brady has exceeded my 60 point upside

Same. I thought Brady was a safe plug-and-play 60 points guy, he exceeded my expectations.

What did KK do so well to have Nero take him at 3 ?

I remember Button gushing over his 2 way play but he barely looks like a fourth liner.

Just like AKos .. had a great U18 tourney

I had Bouchard as my shoot for the moon pick if not Hughes

Offensive machine in London but a disaster without the puck , some night watching him live he would get 4 points but be a -4

In hindsight that draft fucked us up big time .

KK's ceiling was (allegedly) higher than Brady's. Brady was already considered to be at his ceiling. KK had untapped potential.

Bergy should have gone with the bird in the hand.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Especially since Brady was the prototypical MB type character player

I didn't have tkachuk because I didn't trust the Habs to avoid McCarron 2.0

I was on the fence with Tkachuk because I thought that he was perhaps overrated because of his name. I had the same misgivings about Tig Iginla. My worry was that if we took Brady we'd be getting Sylvain Turgeon instead of Pierre, or Danny Geoffrion instead of Bernie.

I guess the difference is that i actually watch them play before forming an opinion.

Besides, Sylvain was actually the older brother and quite a good player before the injuries.

yeah he was pretty good with the Whalers

You also could have said Bure or Hossa, those weee great examples.
