Penguins are still perfectly happy with Pouliot.

Can't see why Isles, Ducks, Jets or Wild would be shaking their heads for not taking Grigorenko either.

If somebody is regretting their pick right now, they shouldn't be working in the NHL.

No one is publicly going to regret their pick right now (or ever), but odds are they have definitely thought about it.

Most expected Grigorenko to slide, it was Forsberg that was the surprise slide.

Lets wait 4-5 years before we determine who regrets what pick, if at all. Just because he's rippin up the Q, that means little. Teams didnt pass on him because of his lack of scoring. Everyone already knew he could score. Alexandre Daigle could score too.

NHL teams dont draft like fantasy hockey teams draft, keep that in mind too.

Based on what I have seen (and keep in mind it is early) I think Grigorenko would easily be a top 4 pick if this was done over. There were lots of questions about him at the draft but keep in mind he had also just finished battling Mono. Given his start this year and his ability to dominate I have no doubt he would have been top 4. And that is not just based on regular Q play, the guy looked great at the subway series.

Teams questioned his work ethic and from what I can see they were wrong to do so. This guys is packed with skill, size, and a want to win.

Big miss by a lot of teams.

Can't wait to see him at the WJC.

Some thoughts...

Does that Murray's injury put him down a bit?

Grigs should definitely be up...

I think that Morgan Rielly would fit in nicely with the Isles....

Subban looks like a steal right now...

Pretty sure you are wrong here. It didn't take 3 years for Minnesota to regret drafting Pouliot ahead of Price. Same with the Rangers and McIlrath over Fowler,Tarasenko. Also I'm certain it didn't take the Leafs 3-4 years to regret their Kadri pick over Kulikov or Ellis.

When you're drafting 18 year olds, yes it takes that long to decide whether or not a pick has turned out. This isn't the NBA of NFL draft. The sooner fans realize that, the better.

The Rangers one is a very, very poor example as well since it has only been 2 years since that draft and neither McIlrath or Tarasenko has played in the NHl, while Fowler has not knocked anybody's socks off.

You know why nobody is regretting passing on Grigorenko? Because every single team knew his production would be where it is at right now. Everybody in the world know he would tear up that league this year. That's not what drafting's about. But keep on thinking that.

Exactly what I was referring to in one of my earlier posts in here. His offense was never in question. Theres obviously more to Grigorenko then most of us fans realize and whatever it is, the scouts know it and decided he wasnt worth the risk. Will some teams regret passing on him in a couple years, maybe, but theres no way that 10 teams passed on his skill without a real good reason. (I say 10 because I took Edmonton out of the addition, their pick was pretty obvious)
