Shoutout to Drake Batherson one of the most underrated players in the league. His mom used to be my 4th grade teacher and we always knew he was great at hockey. Just didn't know he was all star level good
THIS ^ obviously do this idea sparingly, it’s a lot of work on your part, but 2015 is worth the whole first round imo. 2009 as well. That draft was fun
I’m just here to say as a Stars fan I’m so thankful for Miro and Robo being here. Miro won’t get a lot of recognition for playing in Dallas unfortunately, but he has such a strong skill set and is extremely strong defensively, you watch him and he can really read what’s going on around him. In my opinion, he’ll be the next captain once Jamie leaves. And Robo, well, I don’t think I need to say much, everyone has fallen in love with him for good reason.
Just imagine him with a head coach that isnt a dinosaur and if he actually got more ice time with the top line cause holy shit hes rarely out there with the top line he could easily be a 60 point dman
He was actually a 6th round pick in the qmjhl a year late as well. Been following his career since the beginning and no one expected him to be this good not even himself
@@johnkelly8884 Ya for sure honestly surprised hes not top 10 in this video I think he should be hes looking like he will have a great future in Boston
@@johnbannan6043 hes been a lot better this year hes definitely the worse of the players listed in my comment but hes still an NHL defenseman that probably ends up being 2nd pairing still solid
Agree, but I’m biased finn too. That said Pettersson-Heiskanen comparison is very close one. Makar is best player from the draft by a f**king country mile.
Heiskanen over Petterson pretty easily for me. I like both players but Heiskanen is honestly underrated. You know he could put up point per game numbers as he's done it in the playoffs, but chooses to refine his style defensively instead. All while playing for the Dallas Stars which use a very defensive system.
Pettersson is more of a game breaker than Heiskanen...he really elevates his game during playoffs and meaningful games like he did in the world it's, his shl mvp championship season and bubble Canucks playoffs
@@Mauritz361 that’s cool but both him and the stars have been consistently good for awhile now. let’s see if it last for the Canucks first. I hope they do keep it up and are able to make playoffs. Canucks are my favorite Canadian team.
Martin Necas has played Center at most 5 times since making the NHL. I have no idea WHERE this belief stems from that he has played center when it's never been a thing since being drafted. I'm very confident he will remain a winger for the foreseeable future.
Fun Fact: 95% of Philly's scouts wanted Philly to draft Makar. But that 5% believed Patrick would've fit Philly much better and their votes were the ones that mattered.
yeah yeah yeah, how many times have we heard this? Every team says this after a few years, "we wanted that guy, BUT..." its all bullshit and excuses, said by people to save their asses. Hindsight is 20/20.
Suzuki better than Hischier?! And defensively too you're joking?! By what metric? Nico has a clear edge in faceoffs, take aways and give aways. They're close in corsi, blocks and offensively with hits being the only category Suzuki has over Nico.
Love the content, I'd like to see this format applied to the 2013 Entry Draft. As a Pens fan I'm curious if Jake Guenzel would be considered a top 10 pick or not.
Very good list, although the only thing i would change is putting Thomas 5th overall, sure as a blues fan i may be somewhat biased but what im seeing from him is imo incredible, i really think he could turn out to become one of the best playmakers of this generation, his ability to create chances and find open teammates is spectacular and he is starting to become really reliable defensively as well, shown by the fact that he often gets the most ice time among blues forwards, even more than ROR
I much prefer this version of the re-draft. Gotta hard disagree though on Petterson at #2. Yes he should be really good but back to back seasons where he struggled yet heiskanen has only gotten better every year. I'd take miro over elias anyday. But loved the vid!
What a draft for Dallas, not only did they get robo and Miro they also got otter and Jacob Peterson who has been a good young player with top 6 potential this year
As a Flyers fan it pains me deeply how Nolan Patrick panned out for the organization. Nothing against Patrick as a person or anything, but man this team would not be falling apart at the seams if they had Makar, Heiskanen, or Pettersson
Prefer this format, well done. There are a couple of things i'd like to see added. First, a list of the entire first round redraft. i think only discussing the first 10 picks is a good choice but it would be cool to see how you have the rest of the first playing out. of course if there's any real stand-out selections - a steal, a big jump, or the perfect player for that particular team by all means discuss that but beyond that just a graphic would be fine. second, i think when discussing the top ten, i'd encourage you to talk briefly about who was taken and why they don't work at that spot. if it's simply a case of another player being better and rising to the top then no discussion needed but in the case of someone being a bust, or having injury issues, etc, maybe a quick note. beyond that entertaining content. keep it up.
It’s too early to judge him honestly since he was just okay last year, Spent time in the AHL to start the season this year, and was splitting starting time with Holtby for most of the year until recently.
@@YwKSniping as a center he wouldn't make the top lines of any top teams (just think of the Avs e.g.), maybe as a winger on the 2nd line for some of them.
Red Wings were looking for Holmstrom II and thought Michael Rasmussen was their guy. They knew going in to that draft year Michaels even strength goal tally in the WHL was not great, but the PP was where it was at. Since then he had to restructure his skating mechanics and has more mobility out on the ice. Can be a dangerous scorer but has hands of stone at moments. Still a work in progress but can provide some physical edge. So for 9th overall he probably could have been available a few picks later. Missing on Necas sort of hurts, but Holland and Tylor Wright really miss fired on talent evals by the dozens.
As a Habs fan, Suzuki is more around 9 or 10. Everyone behind him is better atm except maybe Necas, although I do think Necas has a higher ceiling. Heiskanen is seriously underrated, so I’m glad you gave him the credit he deserves
Dallas won this draft Robertson, Heiskanen and Oettinger not to mention basically 2 potebtial solid depth guys with Studenic off of waivers and Peterson
Thomas >>>>> suszki and batherson thats just disrespectful to thomas you put him under him also hischer is definalty shown these past two years hed still be a top 5 pick this draft maybe ahead of petterson
its biased because im a sens fan but batherson over nico, and even norris, norris is such a great goal scorer he was a stamkos like shot on the pp, norris and bath should be 6 and 7 imo
I know Nolan Patrick’s injury is unfortunate but that’s just the flyers luck to get the #2 pick and get a bust out of it. Fletcher had easy choices and still fumbled it.#tankforBedard
Out of curiosity, when you do these types of videos, which do you rate higher; scoring points or preventing said points being scored? Don't know if this makes sense but i tried :D
Pretty fair re-draft in my opinion. However, in 2 or 3 years I think the top 5 will look: 1) Makar 2) Robertson 3) Heiskanen 4) Pettersson 5) Batherson
New style i like way better...should redo the 2016 draft class since Fox was picked 66, Debrincat was picked 39, McAvoy picked 14th and many more examples. Lets face it. Half those top 10 picks in the 2016 draft wouldnt of been picked if they new
Shoutout to Drake Batherson one of the most underrated players in the league. His mom used to be my 4th grade teacher and we always knew he was great at hockey. Just didn't know he was all star level good
Didn't he play in the MHL before?
only cause every team needs a representative in the game
If you do a 2015 redraft, consider doing a entire first round redraft. There’s just so much talent to choose from
Straight up the 10th best player in that draft is still a superstar
THIS ^ obviously do this idea sparingly, it’s a lot of work on your part, but 2015 is worth the whole first round imo. 2009 as well. That draft was fun
...he did
Just to mock with bruins fans, right? 😭
Same thing for the 03 draft really
Like the new style of including everyone from the draft. so keep up like that!
Escanor solos
Agreed I would’ve loved to see Fox at 2 behind Matthew’s at 1
Exactly! Me too 😁👍
I’m just here to say as a Stars fan I’m so thankful for Miro and Robo being here.

And he just got mono and is out indefinitely
@@AmpsTV Robertson’s Ice time has jumped since the the New Year started.
@@nickfury8973 kissing the homies goodnight isn’t always safe 😔
Can’t forget about otter too, sneakily might be the 2nd best young goalie behind sheshterkin
Fun fact about Drake Batherson: he was eligible for the 2016 draft and no one selected him. Ottawa's scouts did their homework!
He was actually a 6th round pick in the qmjhl a year late as well. Been following his career since the beginning and no one expected him to be this good not even himself
It could be that he trains with Crosby Mackinnion and Marchand all off season, everyday.
The steals in this draft are crazy with J. Robertson being a 2nd round pick and Batherson being a 4th round pick
Batherson 🤩
Is worse than Nolan Patrick
Swayman in 4th round
Swayman too I think
@@johnkelly8884 Ya for sure honestly surprised hes not top 10 in this video I think he should be hes looking like he will have a great future in Boston
Love this style more! Would love to see WGT 2015 would look like doing this draft style now
Yeah this format is much better! U can even include the undrafteds lol
Forgot how good this draft looks for the Sens we got Formenton, Norris, Batherson, and Brannstrom as a result from it
Brannstrom😅
@@johnbannan6043 hes been a lot better this year hes definitely the worse of the players listed in my comment but hes still an NHL defenseman that probably ends up being 2nd pairing still solid
stars also got oettinger heiskanen robertson peterson some upcoming stars from both clubs
@@johnbannan6043 Cant be good if your coach plays you with a liability like Josh Brown
Ottawa didn’t draft Brannstrom, Vegas did
Makar no 1, no question about it!
Maybe I'm biased Finnish but I would rate Heiskanen #2, hes skating ability is so good and he moves puck so well.
Agree, but I’m biased finn too. That said Pettersson-Heiskanen comparison is very close one. Makar is best player from the draft by a f**king country mile.
Country Mile !
No your Finnish eyes don’t deceive you. The kids a stud and definitely should have gone #2 overall.
Makar goes number 1 in any re draft
Heiskanen over Petterson pretty easily for me. I like both players but Heiskanen is honestly underrated. You know he could put up point per game numbers as he's done it in the playoffs, but chooses to refine his style defensively instead. All while playing for the Dallas Stars which use a very defensive system.
Heiskanen is relentless defensively and okay offensively
@@blakeattig5426this season he was pretty relentless defensively and offensively lol
I think it would really cool is he would show how many spots he moved them up on screen.
Hard to argue with this list!
Although i do think Heiskanen would go #2, easier to find a Petey then a #1 d men such as Heiskanen imo.
Pettersson is more of a game breaker than Heiskanen...he really elevates his game during playoffs and meaningful games like he did in the world it's, his shl mvp championship season and bubble Canucks playoffs
@@deadwood2757Yeah... Miro had 26 points in a stanley cup final appearance and over ppg as Finland won the world title
@@id3060seems like a breaker to me. 😂
@@Joe_Ma99 now tho, Pettersson lead Nhl in points right now and canucks are fire🔥
@@Mauritz361 that’s cool but both him and the stars have been consistently good for awhile now. let’s see if it last for the Canucks first. I hope they do keep it up and are able to make playoffs. Canucks are my favorite Canadian team.
Much better, more meaningful redraft format. Stellar content, thanks!

Thank you for giving Suzuki credit, appreciate it. He often gets underrated.
Another cool way to look at drafts that I've never seen a creator do is what teams would look like if they drafted by the consensus pre-draft rankings
totally prefer this from the 2016 format. Looking forward to the next one!
Fun Fact: 95% of Philly's scouts wanted Philly to draft Makar. But that 5% believed Patrick would've fit Philly much better and their votes were the ones that mattered.

@@Hunter-fd3eg And if you're talking about yourself, than it shows that you don't know what you're talking about lol
Dig this format. As a nucks fan it would’ve saved me from having to see Olli Juolevi’s name on the 2016 redraft list….
same, kinda want him to re-do the 2016 one now 😂😂😂😂
Love the content, I'd like to see this format applied to the 2013 Entry Draft. As a Pens fan I'm curious if Jake Guenzel would be considered a top 10 pick or not.

I'd take Heiskanen and Robertson ahead of Pettersson
All day
Agree to disagree
Only Heiskanen.
Give them another two years, Petterson is not having the best season…
@@bjornalm9950 His bounce back has been nuts under Boudreau
This format is way better in my opinion.
I think this version is better since people really love an underdog story. would love to see a late round pick end up 1st overall
I much prefer this version of the re-draft. Gotta hard disagree though on Petterson at #2. Yes he should be really good but back to back seasons where he struggled yet heiskanen has only gotten better every year. I'd take miro over elias anyday.
But loved the vid!
Nah pettersson was still injured till like a month ago he is absolutely dominating every game now
also didn't really struggle last season? he was pre solid on a bad Canucks team before he got hurt
Batherson jumped up so high!
Liked including everyone from the draft!
What a draft for Dallas, not only did they get robo and Miro they also got otter and Jacob Peterson who has been a good young player with top 6 potential this year
What about Jake Ott?
@@SiLeNtKiLlEr2233 mentioned him, his nickname is otter
Keep this style bro. Love it.
Interesting seeing the subtle changes in your 2017 redrafts from 2 years ago to this one (3 months ago).
Yeah, this format is better. Really brings out the positives!
As a Flyers fan it pains me deeply how Nolan Patrick panned out for the organization. Nothing against Patrick as a person or anything, but man this team would not be falling apart at the seams if they had Makar, Heiskanen, or Pettersson

beyond that entertaining content. keep it up.
Much better format, fun idea would give an option on where the top 10 should have been drafted
Stay with everyone from the draft. I felt like I pretty much knew the order in the last video.
Everyone said this draft class sucked, but a lot of good players came out of it.
love this format thanks for listening to us great vid!
This is a much better format. Thanks bud! 😊
I'd take Heiskanen over Pettersson otherwise spot on list. Robertson is close being number 2 also
It's crazy how two players on this list are on the Senators and neither of them were their first round pick.
I like this version more than the last one
This format is better than just reshuffling top 10
9:10 editing error?
The 2015 draft would be Awesome
See where Aho is at.
Great Video As Always!!
Nico is just a way better Suzuki imo… list perfect besides that… maybe even switch jrob and petey
Suzuki is better than hischier
Love the content, and like this format better. No top 10 love for Oettinger?
It’s too early to judge him honestly since he was just okay last year, Spent time in the AHL to start the season this year, and was splitting starting time with Holtby for most of the year until recently.
At 9:11 you made a mistake you said moving on to the second round pick twice no big thoe great video
Great. Like this format better
One of my favorite youtubers keep up the great work man
Robertson is lethal. He is a superstar
I like Nico, but you're right about him. On a better team, he wouldn't even be on the top 2 lines.
just not true
@@YwKSniping as a center he wouldn't make the top lines of any top teams (just think of the Avs e.g.), maybe as a winger on the 2nd line for some of them.

Actually listens to feedback, good stuff man keep it up👍
Flyers got to pick twice lol
It would be fun to hear what you think about the players that fell out of the top 10 with your redraft (Nolan Patrick etc. in this case)
Josh Norris is literally from Michigan and we didn’t draft him. Thanks Ken
But then he wouldn't be able to play with his best friend Brady
As a Habs fan, Suzuki is more around 9 or 10. Everyone behind him is better atm except maybe Necas, although I do think Necas has a higher ceiling. Heiskanen is seriously underrated, so I’m glad you gave him the credit he deserves
Nah he deserves top 5 lol
Drizzy 🥶
Norris and Thomas have been insane lately
Dallas won this draft Robertson, Heiskanen and Oettinger not to mention basically 2 potebtial solid depth guys with Studenic off of waivers and Peterson
this format is much better imo
Thanks for reminding me of the Karlsson Trade :|
i remember a video where u said “it’s too early to do a 2017 re draft” ahhh how time g
flys
this format is way better
can you do a re draft of the 2014 draft
Redraft the 2015 draft
Id like to see both top 10 players of the draft and top 10 picks redraft

2015 next please nyquist
Was great to be in the 4th spot that year 😁
