I hear that goalie they drafted is terrible
All I can say is Patrik Hornqvist was drafted dead last in the 2005 and became a major piece in the Pens cup runs. People need to chill out on the draft prospects as every single one of them is a gamble despite where they get ranked. How big was Guentzel? about the same size and he did fine, everyone doesn't have to be 6'2 210lbs+
Far as i know, connor dewar is still on this team. Not hearing good things about clifton from saber fans
Dubas loves a crowded bottom six pool. I guess the hell with 1st and 2nd liners
🔥 “Let’s be real. You can get gritty role players in free agency or at the deadline. But skill? High-end upside? That only comes from the first round. And the Pens just passed on it.”
💬 “What happened to taking the best player available? That’s drafting 101. You don’t fill roster holes with picks — you draft the best talent and figure it out later.”
Someone should be fired. 😖😔🙄
The Penguins need to hire all the people in the comments of all these videos. Drafting is usually a crapshoot, but apparently almost everyone except me knows with absolute certainty how these picks will turn out.
I really thought the pens would draft Eklund at 11 and aitcheson at 12.
I would have liked Eklund at 11 and I think kindel would have been there at 21.
Ya know who is a hidden gem. Jack Nesbitt. The guy they let the Flyers draft at 12. They should have got him at 11 and a defenseman at 12
According to Dubas himself, the team, as we all should know, was really in need of a high-end center prospect. One of the teams that he was in contact with, who was drafting in the late teens, was planning on taking Ben Kindel. It was why they reached for him early.
I hope he’s good for their sake
The fact that pens fans complain about picking Kindel because he’s on the smaller side while also complaining about not taking Eklund who is 2 inches smaller proves pens fans will complain about anything and everything the team does.
I don't agree with dageil being a good goalie there are people who completely given up on him as he has produced horrible sv%. Ivonkavich instead of kittle would of been prime move
At the end of the day, it’s Kyle Dubas. He has NOT made a SINGLE good decision. If Dubas made the choice, it will be wrong.
Obviously all NHL teams should just fire their entire scouting staffs. What is the point of them when websites and other experts provide rankings that are apparently gospel and not to ever be deviated from?
