is this the best "two way centre/ shut down centre" draft class of all time?? RNH, Couturier, Trocheck, Karlson, Danault, Pageau, Jenner, Miller....Such a solid draft class

I would still have the Avs going with Landeskog, he's the leader they needed and has stuck with the team during one of the worst seasons imaginable. 92 will be in rafters someday.

[@dustinspies1586]

Man, I wish Klefbom didn't get hurt. I miss him! He would've probably been drafted higher than 19 if he stayed healthy. He was turning into a legit top 2 shutdown defenceman for the Oilers!

I remember in the 2017 playoffs how good he was. he honestly seemed like poor man’s Hedman. Sad to see injuries end careers.

[@Bdiers]

This is a solid redraft, Shannon! (Even if my inner Avalanche fan shuddered in horror at the thought of Landeskog being in anything other than an Avs sweater)

[@thenextgreat8652]

I’d still have kept Landy at #2 on the redraft. Essentially, a redraft is drafting based on what you know today. As of today, Landy wears the “C” and was an integral piece of hoisting the cup a couple months ago. Might not be as talented offensively but still plays on the top line of the best team in hockey, puts up points, hits, fights and has been a master motivator for that group as their captain both during the good and bad times. The Avs don’t win a cup with Johnny Hockey.

[@Bdiers]

@@thenextgreat8652 oh, don't get me wrong, I totally agree with your point. I firmly believe that his leadership on and off the ice are worth their weight in gold, and I wouldn't pick anyone else. I just won't argue if someone else picks Johnny first. For my money, Landy is the ideal net-front power forward. He plays a smothering game at the top of the crease, without having to resort to playing like a rat, and elevates everyone's game around him. He'll definitely go down as one of the top ten (top five even?) to don an Avs sweater.

[@thenextgreat8652]

@@Bdiers I figured that 😉 Other than that pick, I agree it was a solid redraft. Just think there’s an even stronger case today for Landy to go #2 overall than there was back in 2011. I’d already throw him in the top 5 now that he’s captained a cup winning team.

I appreciated this one more than your others, because it's the first one you've done that showed Philly did make a decent pick. I do love Cooter, so it was nice to see him do even better here. I think this is the first Flyer to be a top 5 in any of your redrafts other than Lindros. I really enjoy these thought exercises.

[@jackmcaninch4270]

Agreed. Landy is where it’s at. Miss him 😢

[@chrislautoronto]

I enjoy these redrafts, especially when there are gems that were taken in later rounds. I understand the focus is on who was drafted, but If I may suggest, I’d like to also see players originally drafted in the first round but didn’t make the redraft. I think that gives a more complete picture.

THG based this on the whole career. It took some time for Zibanejad to get going and his consistency is not always there… a very streaky player. RNH is not as flashy but his 2 way game is elite, which allows the first Edmonton line to do their high end scoring

I’m gonna purposely misinterpret what you said by the way and say that Scheifele is definitely the most overrated player in the league. He is known for being a locker room cancer along with the other top players in Winnipeg as well as one of the worst defensive players in the league.

[@cameronkuom8168]

This video is great at showing how draft position really affects how we look at a player. Of course Kucherov is the best player from this class, however it took him a couple of seasons just to make the nhl. If he actually went #1 there would have been many shouting bust. Several of these players took years to develop into who they became. This is why I am still a believer in players like Kakko, Zadina, etc. They aren’t stars right away like we thought, but with time will be great players when they’re 26, 27, etc

[@JakeMook]

I had not realized how deep this draft was. Amazing, thanks for another video Shannon

Gaudreau may be an explosive player with a penchant for scoring or whatever, but he's not a winner and he always buckles under pressure. Landeskog is an all-league elite CAPTAIN and it's just too sad that the stats are blind to that aspect. He still goes #2 easily and if you disagree, he will beat up anyone you put in #2 instead.

[@chadg2696]

Sure do miss the Big Rig here in Dallas. He was slowly becoming my favorite player. Was like the defense version of a young Jamie Benn. Good times.

If Nuge didn’t dealt with a lot of injuries early in his career he probably could’ve been a number 1 center

[@guitarcovers5437]

@@Sahil-ev3mv Yup multiple shoulder injuries and having a Knack for defence always hindered him from being the best offensive player he could be. He has potential to be a 70 point guy yearly but he never sacrifices offence for it. If not for all the bad oilers teams he was on early and the lack of interest in prospect development by the gm’s he would have been a top 3 player in the draft. Even saying that id still put him 5. He has more goals/assists/points in less games than Couturier. He also plays C/W and the PK and PP. He is an all around high level player.

[@jonmendelson1104]

For anyone curious about teams missing draft picks in this draft: The Blue Jackets' pick was sent to the Flyers as part of the Jeff Carter trade along with Voracek and a 2011 3rd. The Leafs' pick was sent to the Bruins as part of the Phil Kessel trade along with a 2010 first and a 2010 2nd. The Blues' pick was sent to the Avalanche as part of the trade that swapped this pick, Erik Johnson, and Jay McClement for Shattenkirk, Chris Stewart, and a 2nd round pick. The Kings' pick was sent to the Oilers as part the Dustin Penner trade along with a 2012 3rd and Colten Teubert. The Predators' pick was sent to the Senators as part of the Mike Fisher trade along with a conditional pick in 2012. The Ducks traded back from 22 to 30 and 39. The Red Wings traded back from 24 to 35 and 48. The Flyers' pick was sent to the Leafs as part of the Kris Versteeg trade along with a 2011 3rd. The Capitals' pick was sent to the Chicago Blackhawks for Troy Brouwer. The Sharks' pick was sent to the Wild as the part of the trade that swapped Brent Burns and a 2012 2nd to for Devin Setoguchi, Charlie Coyle and this pick. The Bruins' pick was sent to the Leafs in the Tomas Kaberle trade along with Joe Colborne and a 2012 2nd. The Leafs then traded up to 22 using this pick and pick 39 (already mentioned above with the Ducks).

[@patch8376]

@@StevenStamkos91 now? Of course. But I think "no brainer" is more than a little dramatic given that RNH was the more productive of the two from 2012-2018, with Mika only outscoring him in 1 of those half dozen seasons. They peaked at different times, and it's a bit apples to oranges, but while saying you prefer one to the other is fine, a Dean Douglas promo cut line is a bit much in my opinion. That's why I merely said I'd "take" one over the other.

Being a ducks fan I agree with the Rakell placement. The potential to be a 30+ goal scorer is there Forsure and when he’s on his game he can really take over, but he hasn’t played consistently. I think he’s a guy that really does need an elite passer on his line to be at his best

[@FroomOfTheLoom]

I think something cool to look at for these redrafts would be to take the average original draft position for each one and then you could compare which years had better talent later on than others

[@annaolsen2280]

I feel like the 2011 draft is one where the players keep getting better and better. I don't think any of them really started off their careers superbly, but each season it seems many of these players keep improving. Some of these players had career years this past year, when they turned 29 years old.

[@rustymcguire718]

What's pretty interesting here is we draft basically a no one at #23 originally as we (the Pens) get Joe Morrow and then trade him to get a third round pick, which would eventually become the one and only Jake "shake" Guentzel.

Kucherov also still has the single season points best post lockout. Feels beatable, but no one has yet.

I agree in hindsight Binnington should probably have been a 1st round pick, but if you adjust for the teams making the pick, there is no way Buffalo would have taken him. Miller had just won the Vezina in 2010 and was still in his prime, so they were not seeking a goalie in the first round.

Amazing year for Tampa Bay: Kucherov, Palat and Namestnikov who was very good and then he was involved in a trade for JT Miller and Ryan McDonagh. Now he is back with Tampa. Also Lightning could have Binnigton, but they traded that pick and Beukeboom for Eric Brewer and they went to Conference Finals.

I chuckled as you described Brodin "It's not always about the points, it's defense, it's about leadership, you're looking at the overall player." But you have Johnn Gaudreau going second who can only contribute points, no defense, no leadership, no other tangibles or intagibles. I'd bump Johnny down to 4 and Huberdeau and Landeskog up one each.

[@philtorrez4198]

And well Landy has been at the top for longer than Hubey who found his top last season.

[@doug3512]

If you compare Gaudreau and Landy's stats on Quanthockey you'll see that yes, Johnny Hockey has a few more total points and Landy still has more goals. But Landy was leading his team for 2 seasons before Gaudreau got a sniff of the NHL. He stuck around for a painful rebuild and was a part of building a cup winner. I hope Gaudreau has that kind of success. But, I'd take a great leader over a great player any day.
