Why the 1999 NHL Entry Draft Was a Horrible One

romanosperfect300 examines why the 1999 NHL Entry Draft was a horrendously awful event.

The 2023 draft was way worse, bro. Not even a single person has played even a hundred games in the NHL from that class. Bust city.

omg I just looked at Hockey DB and you are correct ! gawd !

I can't belive how underrated Zetterberg was. Here in sweden he was an absolute super star at the time of the draft. He was seen as a new Sundin/Forsberg kind of player. Love the content dude 🙂

[@dallasburgess5329]

Datsuk, and Zetterburg were always poor man replacements for Fedorov and Stevie Y. It was an absolute joke hearing People even compared them to those players having seen all four play. Good, VERY good, but not great.

do yourself a favour and DON'T Draft goalies in the first round unless the guy is a guaranteed winner.

[@mikeporten8174]

I remember this draft clearly. This is probably the worst draft class in history.

...able to watch at 1.5x which offers a decent pace. Good work!

[@romanosperfect300]

Thanks a lot bro!

[@mikepette4422]

worst draft in history ? Yep I think it certainly is being this tough on the teams isn't fair because there just wasn't much to take from this draft. its the players themselves that really stunk so everyone was worthless but a handful of guys even the 1st over was a real disappointment. It had a lot to do with desire and less to do with ability in most of the cases since as you point out a lot of them just didn't stay in hockey at any level very long after their draft year. Not many 20 year minor league/european league careers

Try wearing a hockey jersey or sports shirt for these videos

[@romanosperfect300]

I only have Ottawa Senators Jerseys and it's for sure worth a try.

[@frankdeboer1347]

Please don't do anymore videos in this series. I don't want to accidentally watch any more of them.

[@romanosperfect300]

I hate to break the news to you but Episode 2 is in the works.

[@romanosperfect300]

[@mrfake675]

The fact the best players were identical sisters pretty much says everything about this abysmal draft.
