REDRAFTING THE LAST 8 NHL TOP 5 PICKS | BarDown Podcast

[@dvotzmusiccompilationsandc5647]

The fact that Dallas got Robertson, Heiskanen, and Oettinger in the same draft is insane

[@obscurereference6298]

might be the best draft class for one team ever

[@jakubjohnson6741]

True. Let's see if they can win a cup with them.

Brady Tkachuk over Quinn Hughes was absolutely insane by Julia lol

[@ryaneldred55]

Putting him over either of Hughes or Dahlin is insane to me.

[@olivierpeartnoy]

I'm so tired of how overrated B Tkachuk is. He's a very good player but some people think he's so much better than he is I don't get it

[@Krameerf]

as a sens fan hes actually really good for the type of player he is @@olivierpeartnoy

[@Sens8909]

Brady is a better hockey player, better for the team than any other player on that list. Easily the most important to a team. It’s a Torontonian answer to want Quinn over Brady, so I understand where that thought comes from. But yeah Quinn is having a great start to the season. Re-draft, Brady is the answer.

[@olivierpeartnoy]

@@Sens8909 See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. Tkachuk is a great player but picking him over Hughes or Dahlin is mind-boggling to me

[@eliasr4097]

I just think Jesper Bratt at least should have been mentioned for the 2016 redraft, my man was originally chosen as the 162nd pick and is definately one in the top 10 of that draft

[@jmecow]

That’s what I was sayin. Can not believe he didn’t get the riser nod

[@jaybob5857]

He should have been the top riser for sure, I was going to ask why he wasn't mentioned

[@Aidan_minotti]

Ikr, rn he’s a first round player

[@thart1338]

Why was Quinn Hughes being one such a debate? Dude is clearly the best in his class.

@LETZGONHLdraftyeah but his team might not make the playoffs so until they’re clearly in or it’s at the end of the season and people are taking a look at his stats he won’t get enough votes

@LETZGONHLdraft Quinn Hughes is on pace for: 30-93-123 Points I won't even mention the others.

[@MSmith-cp1tz]

These guys originally had the Canucks pick Keller over Fox. They just didn't put much thought into the Canucks

[@warshawgameshd3432]

@LETZGONHLdraft He is on the same team he was on last year, except he has a top 4 d partner now and is the Captain. He actually lost a 40 goal scorer in Bo horvat as well, he is the best player on his team that is doing amazing right now. He is making records that no dmen since Orr and al macinnis have. That isn't because the Canucks are decent. He was the leading Hart candidate for like a month this season as well.

[@Vishal604]

In Quinn Hughes first two years he was already breaking records on a bad team, and he continues to make new ones VS Powers, hard to image he'll be better than Hughes in his peek

[@MrKohulann30]

julia: (proceeds to list every single qualifier to be a franchise cornerstone when describing quinn hughes) also julia: "i just think tkachuk is that guy you build a team around cuz he just feeeels like a captain"

When even 5-8 years later we can't get a real consensus on those top 5 lists from passionate fans, imagine how hard it is to rank them when they are 18 years old. Drafts are something else but that's why I'm enjoying them so much.

Good job on the consistency folks! I'm proud of you guys. Also, Corwin: "What is a defenseman but a Goalie with a different stick?"

[@nicholaslouie7590]

As a Canucks fan 2016 draft was rough, I would’ve loved McAvoy on the team. 2017 & 2018 draft though, we struck gold. The Quinn Hughes disrespect is kind of crazy, but it’s your redraft so I’m not going to judge.

[@KrillTheThrill97]

What a surprise, no Jake Ottinger for the 2017 draft for Corwin lmao

[@leo1fun]

Raymond has started the season a bit slow while Larkin and Cat were lighting it up, but ever since Cat cooled off, he's been the main offensive weapon for the team along with Larkin. Last year he had his sophomore slump but honestly I think this year he'll have a 65+ point season and he's not even playing PP1 most of the time.

[@Gufrion37]

2016 biggest riser HAS TO BE Jesper Bratt

[@jaybob5857]

He went in the 6th rd!!!

[@jeremylizotte8992]

Good defensemen are way more important now than ever especially with the speed and skill of todays game.... they are like point guards on basketball teams. They drive every play and put up the most minutes on each team. Teams can have amazing forwards and still lose games. It's hard to beat teams with amazing defensemen.

[@sarahtranfo]

That entire 2016 top 5 re-draft is American - unreal class

[@TM-qj4yr]

Hello these people are just pod caster not real nhl experts.

[@tiger5869]

The Wild have been really good at drafting which is great news since we haven't won a game in three weeks

[@jeremeymcdude]

The Wild would be better at Drafting if our former coach had actually used our top draft picks actively. Best players this year so far have been young players with the exception of Kap and Boldy.

[@mobailey6666]

so disappointed in you corwin. no team should be disappointed in getting Nico. Selke nominee last year, captain, reliable, the best guy all around.

[@cross27hunter]

Right! Elite 2 way player who can get 80 points a season (I think more) How are you going to be disappointed

[@AtomicAmigo]

Was really hoping to see Axel Sandin-Pellikka as a riser in that final draft class. Dude is on pace for an all time great SHL season for a Dman, but I cant blame them for not having eyes on that league.

[@limpano1455]

him and perreult were def my picks for riser

[@kkacperowski]

damn, big diss to hischier. Hes a cornerstone. two way complete player.

[@eliaminator2313]

McTavish getting disrespected here hes so good shouldve stayed 3rd to Anaheim at least imo

[@gwalker4803]

Nah bro what are you talking about? Obviously a goalie who's never played a game in the show is a much better pick.

[@joegeyster2096]

Swayman and Oettinger not at least being mentioned is criminal. No goalie love

[@brandonm8251]

I enjoyed Poc being here hahaha. Great interactions with Jesse

[@midgetplant281]

What about Jake Oettinger for 2017?? I think he’s more impactful than Hischier at that #5 spot. That would also be cool cause then it’s three stars players that would crack the top 5 and imagine if it happened; the Canucks would have Demko and Oettinger 👀 nasty

[@PhilippeLetangPoirier]

Jessy talking down on slaf ,bet you are eating your socks now seeing him explode offensively lol

It's scary as a penguins fan realizing we haven't gotten many early draft selections and we are gonna be rebuilding in the coming years

[@harmangill7509]

It's not that scary. It's fun when you start hitting on new players and they start developing chemistry.

[@canesfan1526]

Penguins should have tanked for a year just to get a top prospect. Gonna need a Blackhawks level tank after syd goes

[@obscurereference6298]

why tf is it scary? there's like 8 teams with cups the last 20 years and you have 3.

I think the 3 cups and watching Crosby, Malkin, and letang on your favorite team should hold you over for a while

[@AceMatthew25414]

Kaiden Guhle is severely underrated.

Maybe Hughes has Captain Serious vibes on the team, as a Canucks fan I understand why he's captain and its good Petty didn't get the C given his contract holdout. JT is a bit too emotional for the C as well so really only Hughes is left.

[@sewdz]

as a Sens fan… Sanderson is more valuable than stutzle and should of gone #1. Points are great but Sanderson is f-ing near flawless and he’s played 1 year.

Lucas Raymond is looking like a much more complete player than Stutzle after this year. Guy put on some lbs and got stronger and then executed like he said he would, dude was a dog on the ice all year people just talk about points which he also has but that part of his game isn’t really quantifiable, even though it adds so much to a players game and their value on a team

[@brianschlaf7007]

I still think Kappo Kakko can turn things around and still see that huge potential in him

[@loggano]

It has to be taken into consideration who these guys play behind. Byram plays behind Toews and Makar and for that reason is current ceiling is PP2. Power plays behind Dahlin, who has PP1 locked up and the play flows through him. These guys haven't shown it because they haven't been given the opportunity to. I think the Power Hedman comparison is very fair, and I also think Guhle and Byram have a very similar play style as well. Guhle is in a different pair of shoes in Montreal with less consistency/skill around him but both of them show flashes of being stars when they are in control of the play. They just don't get the points to show for it due to who is around them at the time.

[@jeremeymcdude]

I have a thought for a podcast, Top 5 Undrafted NHL players past present and future Top 5 undrafted that are retired or out of the NHL Top 5 undrafted Current NHL players Top 5 Undrafted players inAHL and/or currently signed to an NHL team Would be interesting to see the players that were passed over in drafts but still pressed on and made the show and proved the teams wrong about them.

[@CamTanYT]

Still can’t get over the red wings taking Zadina over Hughes

[@artemisgray9463]

Lmfaoooo just goes to show, Quinn Hughes can literally lead the league in points as a dman and captain a team from the basement to the top, and he'll still get passed over for a winger who's well below a ppg on a middling-bad team. 😂😂 That's fine, keep sleeping, that's how we got him at 7 so all I can say is thank you. ❤
