Just from a first glance you gotta think the Devils and Flyers are kicking themselves for taking Pavel Zacha and Ivan Provorov over Timo Meier or Mikko Rantanen.
Zacha is coming into his own right, but on the Bruins and not the Devils. And I guess the Devils have Timo now so they ended up with who they should’ve drafted in the first place.

Boston in a landslide

Jesus Christ, what a fucking deep draft
SubbyDoo
Boston. Look at their picks and look at the next three. Also senyshyn was very off the board as most rankings had him in the late 2nd
SnipesW
Stacked top 20! Boston for sure though

Is this just a shit on Boston post because what other reason would this particular draft be chosen for this question

As a Boston fan I can in fact confirm Boston did 3 times.

It will always be Boston, but Arizona missed out on more than one franchise altering player.

On a side note, Minnesota also drafted kirill kaprizov in the fifth round that year

Arizona at 3 is a pretty big whiff. Boston really did poorly considering the next three players drafted.

Every team from 3-9 that passed on Rantanen

Dylan Strome may have struggled for a few years, but he seems to have found a place in DC.

Florida and Boston, Debrusk keeps Boston from being the biggest loser.

The answer is the Oilers. They traded the 16th pick for Griffin Reinhart. I think that guy is playing in Europe and selling used cars over the summer or something.
PhilThrill623
Clearly Edmonton. Who’s that McDavid guy anyway? Although they did make that Reinhart deal 🤔
No seriously Boston, by a landslide. Barzal got picked by NYI and I looked at my wife and said did Garth Snow just select a guy that got picked by Boston? They’re mid way through a Thunderbirds montage and I realized how much Boston screwed up.
Probably traded Connor and Barzal by now anyway. Kyle.

Zacha. Look at those names right after. Sheeeit

As a bruins fan definitely Boston but like holy shit that’s bad

Other than Boston, I’d say Edmonton. Eveni f we didn’t draft barzal with that pick we traded we could’ve got Chabot or anyone else. Instead we got no one. Pain

Boston kind of missed out with two of those picks when you look at the next few guys that were picked.
But I’ll go with the homer answer of the Pens for trading away the 16th pick for David Perron.
Bloodraven23
I’ll just leave this here.
Marchand – Bergeron – Pastrnak
Connor – Barzal – Konecny
Very_Opinionated_One
The answer, without a doubt is Arizona.
ILiveForTheCringe
Boston whiffed on 3 straight picks when they could’ve had Barzal, Chabot, Boeser, Aho, or later, guys like Kirill Kaprizov or even Tory Terry (Yes, DeBrusk is decent, but not on the level of any of these guys, besides maybe Terry)
Arizona is a dishonorable mention, though. Imagine passing on Mitch Marner for Dylan fucking Strome lmao
The_G_89
Definitely Boston with Barzal right there.

Kaprizov was 5th round.. 135 overall

Why does it feel like Mikko has been in the league a decade longer than Eichel?
thirstywalls
Boston sports talk radio talks about this draft once a day
Yop_BombNA
Arizona probably
Unless you count Boston doing it 3 times, but I think that is cheating.
seniorcadman
Better yet, which player got screwed the most. It’s obvious, McDavid. How much longer is he in deadmonton after Eichel gets his ring?

Pavel Zacha at 6 is awful
MaddVentures_YT
Boston. Having three picks in a row and having only 1 be a decent player for your team
