The 2017 draft has gone down as one of the deeper drafts in recent memory. So like last year we go back 7 years and review just how well some of these picks turned out. Follow me on Twitter: / varsitysens
Commenting to help you with your engagement. Clearly this video has a ton of effort put in, and I’m gonna be so proud to say I saw you before the blow-up :) I don’t regret a single minute I spent watching
Couldn't be happier to have Nico on the Devils. He has great character and leads by example. One day he'll make a mockery of any redraft that has him below #1, i truly believe that.
As someone who's only been fully invested in hockey for a couples years these videos have been a great way to learn about lower lineup guys from teams I'm not super informed on. Keep it up they're a great watch!
As a Flyers fan, you can fully blame Hextall for Nolan Patrick’s career. Nolan underwent hip surgery right before his rookie season, almost immediately after being drafted. This surgery was the same exact surgery Giroux and Gostisbehere had right before the 2016/17 season, where they both had their worst career seasons at that point. Patrick had this surgery, then had ZERO training camp, then barely played in preseason but then made the opening night roster… It was clearly all to sell the jerseys and tickets, I remember a poster that was spammed all of the WFC shop that was Giroux, Simmonds and Patrick on the poster lmao. It was all downhill from there. Had Nolan went back to junior for 1 more year, then made his debut in Philly in 2018/19 I guarantee you his career would still be going today.
thank you for not shitting all over yammy, he’s been getting disrespected so hard these last two years and even tho he’s a decent player it’s so annoying seeing him get overlooked 😭
Great video man, honestly I'm shocked that you dont have more subs. I've always wished there was more hockey content in the style we see from creators for other sports. I've seen a few really promising hockey channels on the rise lately and you belong right with them. You're a newer channel but already seem like youve been doing it for years. Hope you guys can push the genre of hockey content creation forward, hockey deserves creators like you all.
2017 is such a wild draft. Touted as a very weak draft with Patrick and Hischier expected to be "good 2nd line centers" as the top 2 draft choices turned out amazingly with Hischier being NJ's first line center a few weeks into the season. The 2017 top 5 is (sadly except Patrick) one of the strongest top 5 ever. And NONE of them (except Patrick) was expected to be a top 15 pick at the start of the season which is bonkers to me. Also great talents later on. Dallas probably having one of the best drafts of any team ever.
Such an underrated draft. Glad my Devils made the right pick. Anyone that had first was picking Patrick or him so I don't get too worked up missing out on guys like Makar, Miro and Elias. Had they gotten one of those guys then they most likely don't get Hughes so everything happens for a reason
Tuned in last night fresh after your upload. Great stuff. Quick and to the point; snappy from player to player. Great little idea. Subbed and will stay tuned.
If there is any reason why Nolan Patrick won't be an absolute slam dunk pick at #2 overall GM Ron Hextall would know about it. Ya see Ron Hextall played his junior hockey for the Brampton Wheat Kings, the team Patrick plays for. So Ron has all these connections there. But not just that, Ivan Provorov also played for The Wheat Kings so the Flyers have been following the team closely since 2015. This is what we were told at the time.
Would have loved to see the sens draft Oettinger if Dallas didn’t draft him. But knowing Pierre Dorion, he probably would have traded him before he hit his potential.
Always found it perfect that the 2 best players of the draft ended up on the 2 worst teams in 2017, even though they both dropped 3 spots in the lottery.
I KNEW the flyers should have picked makar.....patrick had a history of injuries............they threw the #2 pick in the toilet... thanks so much hextall..........
really good video i see a combo of a ton of styles, i love your mix quality too, also i see so many ppl with hockey videos with tons of views but the channels have no subscribers, i think it might be time for me to make a 2018 caps retrospective
Cody Glass doesn’t seem well off after this past season, and Middlestat has proven himself to be a solid pick for a while now, definitely a TOP 6 player.
Islanders trading away their pick because of the expansion draft was...oddly the right move. However, Garth Snow would've probably bungled this pick as well
As a Sabres fan any RU-vid “Draft revisit” video just makes me wanna jump off the Peace Bridge. The only thing the Sabres do right is send their players to good organizations so they can win. Its disgraceful.
@@PWiz30 cale makar, Dallas 1st round picks( can’t remember how to spell their names) and Jeremy swayman i would take over him right now today. Swayman is the only one I would argue could be under hisher. Also I said by the end of there careers so in about 15-20 years from now. Just remembered that Jason Robertson also was in this video so make that 5th-6th instead of 4th-5th.
