What Happened To The 9 Players Drafted Before Mikko Rantanen

[@DiabloManiacz]

There is a chance 2015 draft will be the greatest draft of all time. Not just because McDavid special talent, but whole draft is ridiculously talented.

[@brianschryver8314]

I’m just watching thinking how often does everyone in the drafts top ten actually turn into something? Not often!!

[@DiabloManiacz]

@@brianschryver8314 The 1st round is just the iceberg, 2015 draft is deep in the later rounds as well. Like 5th round Kaprizov, Terry, Garland, Bear or 6th round Mangiapane, Gavrikov, Marino or Aho 35th, Hintz 39th.

Amazing video although it would be great if you talked about him at the end, i was waiting all video for it

[@rademfam6856]

Same!! Yeah seriously dude, he's on my AVS man!! Definition of anticlimactic 😂😂

[@MegaStara]

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho was a steal on this draft.

[@KurreKlyyvarsson]

Aho plays for the Islanders buddy.

[@MegaStara]

@@KurreKlyyvarsson old joke 😄

[@KowashiHitori]

What an insanely deep draft. I mean... yea Mikko would go higher in hindsight, but all 9 of those names are recognizable NHL quality players. How often do you get 10 mid-top tier players in the first 10 picks of a draft?

[@windsolarupnorth7084]

You get 10 mid-top tier players in every draft. There are 32 teams, 192 Top6 forwards and 64 Top2 defencemen in the leauge. Obviously you get around 15-20 of them every draftyear. Nevertheless, Rantanen should have gone as number two after McDavid that year.

[@ProSpyy]

Why are you not talking about Mikko, when he’s the 2nd best player from that draft class!?

[@Ylinatsiperkele]

Nah, not even top 3. Top 5 maybe.

It's pretty insane that Rantanen wasnt atleast in top 3. He is literally the best winger in league right now

I dissagree

Pretty hard to project players futures, very debatable about who is the top winger these days. Colorado did extremely well for 10th overall.

[@valitsemllaluokanavahyvaks3556]

Kucherov is best winger

IMO These videos would better if you finished talking about the guy in the title. I was waiting for what you had to say about Mikko 😄

[@user-ej1dh3hb6l]

The title says what happened to those players who were drafted before Mikko. Is there something you don't understand about it?

[@Ratchetti]

@@user-ej1dh3hb6l The video would be better if it included Mikko, because it culminates to him.... what's so hard for you to understand?

[@user-ej1dh3hb6l]

@@Ratchetti I think the title and the idea of this video is very clear. At least for me it is. It talks about those players who were drafted before Mikko Rantanen. It doesn't say what happened to those players who were drafted before Mikko Rantanen, including Mikko Rantanen.

[@JasonSmith-pe5py]

Top 10 of this draft was pretty damn awesome-including Rantanen-whod have to go 2 or 3 if ya redrafted.

[@Faktantarkastaja]

Mikko is good player, but number 9 was okei. I'm from Finland, better ask witch players went before Sebastian Aho? Aho is center, most important player on Carolina. Mikko has MacKinnon in his center, so it helps a lot.

[@rivality100]

Sä et sit yhtään kattonu Coloradon viime kautta kun mackinnon oli sivussa pitkään, niin menikö Rantasen kausi huonommin verrattuna tähän kauteen?😂

[@KTSN94]

Is it just me? I think he's pronouncing "defenceman" as "defensiveman". Also, Timo Meier as Timo "Minor".

[@nAricxd]

I think he's pronouncing Timo Meiner 😂

[@holoholopainen1627]

Finlands #10 Draft picks #1 Teemu 76 goals & Mikko Rantanen !

[@leinis80]

One of the best drafts ever, but Finns were soo overlooked. Rantanen dropped to 10th (and out of this video it appears?), but he was not the most overlooked. Sebastian Aho dropped out of the first round (drafted in the early second), as did Roope Hintz (drafted late second round). In a re-draft Rantanen, Aho and Hintz could all be gone in the first 5 selections.

[@madsbuhris]

Kakko #2 overall as Patrik Laine. The best robbery ever was Winnipegs pick #10 in 1988. Teemu Selänne 76 goals as rookie. A record that will never be taken away from him.

[@leinis80]

@@madsbuhris I was speaking of this draft class specifically, when considering how Finns were overlooked. But I do think that many Finns from earlier generations were overlooked too, and Selänne is probably not even the best example of this (albeit a very good one). What about earlier names like: Jari Kurri #69 (the only name to contend with Selänne about GOAT Finnish hockey player) Esa Tikkanen #80 ...that is, especially Jari Kurri some Grand Theft kind of drafting. Good job from the Oilers drafting them both. Or this whole line from forwards to goalie from around the years near Selännes draft: Saku Koivu #22 Jere Lehtinen #88 Sami Kapanen #87 Sami Salo #239 Kimmo Timonen #250 Miika Kiprusoff #116 ...swap in Selänne instead of Kapanen, and you basically have the best Finnish line ever - which actually played together (Turin Olympics comes to my mind). But yeah, plenty of busts later. But Kakko and Laine have serious talents, so I would not write them off yet, or say that they were overdrafted. I think that NYR have mismanaged Kakko a bit, and Laine has been one of the better goal scorers in the NHL, when "on" and healthy. I'd rather insert Puljujärvi above Kakko and Laine, if we were to consider busts (but Pulju is very talented too). Here are some true busts, though: Rasmus Ristolainen #8 Jani Rita #13 Riku Helenius #15 Lauri Tukonen #11 Petteri Nokelainen #16 Jukka Seppo #22 ...Ristolainen is very successful, though - at least if you look at the contract he got. ;)

[@Bone2187]

Its wild to think we sent him down and then called him up and this was wh a t we received.

[@jozefmasny8349]

No Canadian team has won anything for 30 years and it's unlikely to change any time soon with the way NHL looks today.

[@brianschryver8314]

Just lots of individual trophies for regular season excellence. Too bad there’s always gotta be some boat anchor contracts on the oilers, would be fun if they didn’t overpay for Lucic, Cambell, and even Nurse on a better deal. Leon helps compensate a bit, but still. Need some cheap prospects to pick up the ball and run

[@brianschryver8314]

@@jozefmasny8349 I think it’s still possible. Look at how many teams made solid runs but just couldn’t finish in the last 30 years. Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton were all just 1 win away. Ottawa was close. Montreal got swept in the final, but still made the final. Even Winnipeg had one good run. Toronto fans have been pretty disappointed since forever though.

You need to learn to pronounce thing’s properly. Names and cities shouldn’t be mispronounced as often as you did. You also kept saying defensive-man that’s not a thing it’s defenseman solid content but your inability to speak well is a serious detraction

Yes, and the criticism has been that the video would be better if it included something about the player they are being compared to. The ending is abrupt as well.
