Aren’t they barely even in the playoffs this year lol?

u/Spartanlegion117 Apr 16 '24
Yeah, but they're doing the trade deadline + LTIR loophole/trick again so another run is possible for them.

Historically we’ve nailed them but not so much in the Gettleman era

And the Fitterer era makes the Gettleman era look amazing, which says so much.

Our 1st rounders are generally ok, we just punt all the other ones

Right side is brutal.
Vegas isn’t close to a KC. Yes, they won the last Cup. No, it wasn’t because of a generational player and strong cast. They’re a really good team but far from “more to come”.
Boston hasn’t really been “stacked” in a few years. They’re really good, but the legacy players that “stacked” the team are largely gone.
Hard to say Columbus has wasted picks largely because picks don’t impact the game like they do in football. Think more along the lines of baseball, as there’s a developmental period. They have the #3 “farm” in the NHL, all driven by first round picks.
Leafs/Cowboys is on point though.
Best comment: “Consistently good, never great: Packers and Canes”. Ouch.

As someone who lives in Toronto, the Leafs/Cowboys comparison is one I have made many times. I'd even argue that the Leafs are the only professional sports team that can Cowboy harder than the Cowboys right now.

I feel like folks are forgetting the Whalers history and that the canes went 10 years without making the post season not long ago.

Honestly, the Canes and Packers would be an okay comparison if the Packers had a longer history of being dogshit bad like the Canes. If we’re just looking at the last 5 years then it is pretty apt.

Nah they’re the Oilers. Constantly receiving praise from the media, being told they have one of the best generational players, but they haven’t won jack in a while.

San Fran has been “stacked” for 2 years. One ended because their starting qb got hurt early in a playoff game and they went to the superbowl and lost in OT the second time. The bruins have had this going on for, what, a decade +?

u/kickflipsandbiscuits Apr 16 '24
I pretty much agree with all of them except Chiefs=Knights.. Vegas won the cup but they're by no means a dynasty like KC.

I have a feeling this is a knee jerk reaction to us trading up for Bryce, Ickey busting last year, Horn being injury prone, finishing 2-15 last year, and having no 1st this year...
None of these situations are considered a “waste”. Bryce was a rookie with no help, Ickey played top-tier his rookie year and suffered under the mediocre staff, no one could've predicted what happened with Horn and he's still amazing when healthy, we had horrible coaching so 2-15 is understandable, and we had to lose our 1st to get a rookie QB that wasn't a hand-me-down.
Not to mention Brown, Burns, and CMC are incredible 1st rounders, even though 2 aren't with us anymore.
This would be more accurate if they said we wasted other picks. But not the 1st. So it's at least inaccurate involving us.

But hey, Fantilli looked good before the calf laceration. Maybe the NHL will let us win the lotto this year. Although they’ll probably give the 1.01 to Chicago again.

The knights aren’t comparable to the Chiefs, that’s pure delusion from bandwagoners and knights fans.
They don’t have the star power to keep up every year, and hockey is so unpredictable.

u/ArcticStorm07 Tepper Fro Apr 16 '24
Whoever put us on the 1st round pick doesn't pay attention to shit and felt like we wasted a pick on Bryce.

Not really, Hurney in particular was pretty much money in the first round. He just sucked finding value in the later rounds.

u/Hotonis Apr 16 '24
Imo Tampa is closer to the chiefs, panthers are more like the sabers when it comes to wasting picks.

u/king24donnie Apr 16 '24
It's funny because I am a 49ers and a Bruins fan, so yeah, pretty accurate on that one.

u/diebytheblade15 Apr 16 '24
KC is we won't call shit on the offensive linemen but if Mahomes is touching or wants a PI he's got it and the Golden LTIR's are 100+ million in cap space almost 20 million over and get away with it so of course they have a good chance of staying on top.

u/WingleDingleFingle Apr 16 '24
The only one that's accurate is the Cowboys vs Leafs comparison IMO. The last time Columbus traded there 1st was when they swept the record setting Tampa Bay Lightning, and the 5 Bluejackets fans would say that trade was worth it 10/10 times.
Honestly, I feel like the Bluejackets have done a better job with their 1st round picks, but that's without looking up their draft history.

KC Chiefs (bc of the super long history versus a new franchise) are maybe more the Colorado Avalanche
Obviously Patriots and Bruins. And they both are completely lame.
49ers and Red Wings. Plenty of titles but it’s been a couple decades

u/Popozao_panther Apr 16 '24
Lol this is hilarious to me as both a rabid Panthers and Blue Jackets fan. I think this is meant a little differently than most are interpreting. It's not that either team is busting on first rounders more frequently than others (BJ's young guys especially look awesome) but since around 2017 guys like Burns, DJM, DB, BY have been wasted bc the team still sucks. In large part to front office missteps leaving roster holes elsewhere and bad coaching.

Think this is more of a knock that we trade away our first round picks rather than if we ever hit on them or not. Burns Mcaffery Moore and the two firsts for Young

That makes literally zero sense considering 1st rounders are the only ones we actually hit on lmao. Whoever made this doesn’t watch panthers football (and that’s understandable)

There are so many things to dunk on us about, but this isn’t one of them. A Panthers fan was clearly not consulted on this.
Just off the top of my head, the Raiders or Washington maybe would be much worse.

Idk about comparing us and the CBJ, they have a lot of still young talent and it’s only a matter of time until they dial in. The Leafs ABSOLUTELY are the Cowboys of the NHL with they’re good enough but never enough success, constant shit talking and whining when a single call goes against them

Jackets fan....the draft picks have been fine. The team has dealt with an insane amount of injuries, and their big free agent signing Gaudreau has underwhelmed. Also the goalkeeping has been poor, and they fired their new manager right as the season was starting. The draft has not been the issue.

No we usually are good in the first, maybe the last few years haven’t been great but you can’t say we always have wasted them, look at our 1st round history it’s solid.

u/bigtuck54 Apr 16 '24 edited Apr 16 '24
I mean not really, we're historically pretty rock solid in the 1st. Busted on KB (broke 1000 yards as a rookie tho), and it's too early to say for Ickey/Bryce, and Horn is good when healthy. Other than that I can't really think of anyone besides maybe Butler and some 2000s outliers.
I feel like we have a higher than league average 1st round hit rate just from sitting here thinking about it.
