Thread: What if we never trade Buchnevich
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>The Draft is really where NYR took their lumps...imagine if they could redraft recent years

2020: Stutzle instead of Lafreniere
2019: Zegras or Byram instead of Kakko
2018: Wahlstrom instead of Kravtsov, Feheravy instead of Lundkvist
2017: Necas instead of Andersson, Jason Robertson instead of Chytil</div></div>

Lafreniere was the consensus #1 pick at the time iirc, and so was Kakko at #2. I cant say too much about Wahlstrom but Kravtsov has had issues with injuries as of recent, not something you can really control too greatly. Lundkvist was also a phenomenal prospect for us stuck behind a deep pool of defensive talent, even if he wasn't given a completely fair shot on the roster, and we managed to recoup a 1st round pick for him regardless. Andersson was a mistake of a pick straight up, I can't deny that, and Chytil has been a great player ever since the playoffs where he stepped up, not Robertson's level obviously, but still completely serviceable, and who knows whether or not Robertson would've gotten the chance with all the wingers we have on our team anyways.
