Before Elias Pettersson was drafted, he was described in Sweden as "the player you get if you combine the Sedin twins". I dont know about you, but I feel like he has earned that description.
@@jeremyvincenti1885 Oh shit, you're right. It was a mistake. Also, don't be an asshole, people make mistakes. Unless you're perfect, don't jump on people.
Braydent Point is an excellent example. I chose Pasta because of the fact he quit literally jumped into the NHL months after the draft, and outscored every forward taken ahead of him. Which really emphasizes the fact that he was overlooked. Which in my opinion was more surprising.
I dont think he ever be that level. He's still too small. He needs to be bigger and stronger. His frame makes him more prone to injury and fatigue and just.getting beat up every game because he's targeted and gets hit a ton plus cheapshots on him i dont see him e er constantly putting up 90-100 point seasons. And I'm a Canucks fan
@@jamesgentry13 Let's Remember Petey's Still Growing. 1st he'll get taller, then he'll fill out. It WILL BE all about his Attitude & Work Ethic after that! dWiest.
James Gentry Size, fatigue, and being injury prone are all most prevalent in the playoffs. Considering he is over a point per game in his rookie playoff year, I’d say that your comment is completely incorrect or at least that Pettersson is an exception. The proof behind your comment just isn’t there
henrik lundqvist being drafted in the 7th round and being the best goalie in a class that ... has the other NY team take a goalie #1 overall is pretty damn impressive
Love the videos Rob! Here’s some ideas: Most Surprising Hart Finalists Ever Best Players to Work their way up from the ECHL (Engelland, Holtby) Hits/Fights that Never Left a Player the Same (Lindros, Kariya, Staal’s eye) Best AHLers who Never Produced/Made it in the NHL NHL Draft Picks who REFUSED to play For the Team that Drafted them (Eli Manning style, Lindros Nordiques) Teams who Looked Like they were Set up for Failure but Shocked Everyone (CBJ this year after losing Bobrovsky, Panarin and Duchene made the playoffs)
Sorry, a diminutive 4th rounder doing as well as Gaudreau has is by far a bigger surprise than Schiefele doing well at 10th overall. 2011 was kind of a no brained, I would have thought...
I’m kind of surprised you had Scheifele from 2011, I get that he wasn’t in the first round on some scouting lists but that was the year the Flames had the 104th overall pick and used it on JOHNNY GAUDREAU.
Brayden Point was surprising in 2014. Led his junior team in scoring during his draft year but fell to round 3. Now he’s arguably a top 10 center in the league
Another Canuck pick that went surprisingly late in the draft was Pavel Bure. Shocking how many teams passed up on The Russian Rocket, and when he came into the NHL, I'm sure there were about 20 other GMs kicking themselves that they never picked him when they had more then one chance to, but Pat Quinn got one of the best draft steals of all time and the rest is history.
Jake Guenzel was a 3rd pick of the Pens and before going down to injury he was on pace for 40 plus goals. That's with Crosby going down for like 15 games. He's an elite winger and has gotten better every year and lead the team in playoff goals (13) the last time the Pens won the stanly cup as a rookie that was called up half through the season and only played 40 games. The next year (his first full season at 82 games played only scored 22 goals 26 assist and 48 points) when they lost to the eventual Stanley Cup winners the Washington Capitals in the second round already had 10 goals at that point proving he turns it up in the playoffs. His next season he had 40 goals and this year before getting injured was tracking for somewhere between 40 to 50 goals. I wouldn't be surprised to see him win the Maurice Richard Trophy next year. For a third round pick im really surprised to not see him on this list.
Pierre Engvall. 7th round, 188th overall. Went from a decent AHL winger to a surprisingly effective shutdown NHL centre. In 48 games as a 4th line player, he's put up 8 goals, 7 assists for 15 points. That's as a rookie with 4th line companions.
Datsyuk and Zetterberg were drafted #171 and #210 respectively, also Lidstrom at #53; one of the greatest defensemen of all time... Absolute steals, the Red Wings used to be legends of scouting talent.
I was expecting this to be 4th, 5th, 6th rounders; not 'this guy slid to #18' or 'he was expected to go 5 but actually went 3rd'. First and second rounders are not a surprise to me when they pan out, they are supposed to.
Morgan Rielly drafted at 5th overall surprised no one, but he was injured and missed the majority of his draft year, indicating he may have risen higher. The interesting thing is how Brian Burke said that the Leafs had him ranked at number 1 and were able to take him at 5. Revisiting those top 5 picks in 2012 and Rielly is the undisputed best player.
Honestly Barzal has exceeded my expectations. I saw what he did in Seattle but I really thought he was going to get physically out-matched in the NHL. I still had doubts after Calder season because Tavares was drawing the most attention on the ice. But since JT’s departure Barzal has proven that this puck handling, one-ice awareness, and skating is next level.
I've really enjoyed how the 3rd, 4th, and 5th picks of the 2017 draft (Heiskanen, Makar, Pettersson) have really broken out and are over a ppg in the playoffs for their teams.
A cool series could be comparing the production of elite players in different countries, and which nation has the most interesting guys coming up right now.
You can start and stop the list with Martin St. Louis - undrafted -> 1st ballot HHOF. I went to a Leaf game years ago when Tampa was in town to see Stamkos - yet the only player that stood out on the entire ice surface every single time he stepped on the ice was St. Louis - I had to stop looking at him to try and find Stamkos - and he looked ordinary when I could find him. St. Louis skated like he was from a different planet
Fun Fact: Ken Daniels (The Detroit Red Wings commentators for their televised games) mentioned in an interview with the Detroit Tigers broadcasters after Filip Zadina was drafted by the Red Wings in 2018 draft mentioned that if Dylan Larkin was gone by the time they picked 15th in the 2014 NHL draft, they were going to pick Daivd Pastrnak as their second choice after Larkin, look up "Break down the Red Wings' 2018 draft" to see what I mean. So imagine if the Wings missed out on the Larkin sweepstakes but got Pastrnak as their second place prize. Also, Ken then joked about how Zadina being the Red Wings' version of Pastrnak after giving out that fun fact
DuBois reminds me a lot of Toews. Watching him during the playoffs this year was fantastic and I even can say that Kirby Dach is starting to play like DuBois as well...or Toews but DuBois more cuz of his size.
Jamie Benn went 129th overall in 2007. It took him a few seasons to put up big numbers, but he made a pretty immediate presence being an aggressive forward. Part form that, John Klingberg went 131st overall in 2010, and he’s arguably top 10 Dmen now a days.
Some players are great until age 15 or 16 when other things call their attention more than hockey, and some gets better with age. Cantsay somebody gonna get good until around year 20
Seeing a lot of people bring up Point alongside Pasta, but I feel like 2014 is REALLY underrated in terms of the hidden talents that got lost in the later rounds. For the Flyers (hometeam) Oskar Lindblom was a fifth rounder and 4 years later he was playing one of the best lines in the league with Konecny and Couturier and with his return next season is projected to be a cornerstone piece. Which is saying a lot seeing as the rest of the teams cornerstones were all first rounders (Coots, TK, Provorov, Farabee, Frost, even Patrick if he pulls off the expect upswing on his return). The only other cornerstone that went a bit lower was Carter Hart who went in the second round, and even then he was the first goalie to be drafted his year, at 48th. Oskar went in the 140s.
As far as Red Wings go, Bertuzzi is likely the most surprising, Larkin was pretty surprising as well, Seider was the most surprising pick that I would say noone saw coming but when he was drafted it completely made sense.
Some of these are not surprising. The ones I think are the most surprising aren't even on here. Brayden Point 2014, 79th overall. Johnny Gaudreau 2011, 104th Overall. Both Superstars and Point is proving to be a generational player, yet still underrated, carrying Tampa to the Stanley Cup (33 Points in 23 games +12, 3 game winners and 2 overtime game winners) and not even getting the nod as playoff MVP, sorry but he was the biggest reason they won, he controlled play when he was on the ice...
I don't think anyone drafted in the first round is much of a surprise, they're first round picks for a reason, regardless if it's 1 or 30, even second round guys aren't a huge surprise.. I think surprises are 5th 6th and 7th round picks who turn out good to great. Just my two cents.
Great video Rob. Im predicting a future draft steel in Caul Caulfield. Even though hes short, he blew up so many u.s hockey records. Hard to ignore. Great video Rob. Keep it up !!
Probably Alexander Romanov, Primeau, or Caufield for Montreal. Romanov was both an off the board pick in the second round but also a steal. Primeau was a 7th round pick so it's surprising that he's turned into one of the top goalie prospects, and Caufield is a surprise cause of how much he dropped.
I’d say John Carlson was a somewhat overlooked player in his draft class. He was drafted 27th overall in 2008 and will likely won’t the Norris this year.
It was sooooo long ago but Henrik Lundqvist was a 7th round pick, 205th overall, in 2000. In a redraft, only Marion Gaborik would be his competition for the #1 pick.
You slightly mentioned Kuch like a "not a surprise" as if he wasn't selected 56th overall and then won +/- award the first full year in the league and had later become who he had become with Art Ross, Hart, multiple franchise records and even its personal "no move" dangle
These are all "homer" pics because i'm from Chicago but Debrincat was "too small" Saad was "uncoachable" and Shaw was drafted D+2 I believe and is a consistent NHL'er. Debrincat had down year but will be a perennial 20-30 goal scorer and Saad is an incredibly strong 2 way guy, and always shows up in play offs
I am a HUGE Canucks fan but I can’t disrespect the Sedins by saying Petey is better. Petey is an outstanding player but the Sedins did so much for us that we will never forget
As easy as it would have been to pick Kucherov as your 2011 selection, I appreciate the selection of Scheifele because Winnipeg players almost never get the respect they deserve and as someone who has watched Mark's development from day one, I wonder where the Jets would be today without the dynamic Scheifele/Wheeler combo. Of course it would have been extra sweet if the Jets had the same foresight in the second round and selected Kucherov to play alongside Scheifele.
No, Dave Bolland is still The Rat. All I can say about Marchand is that he's one of the very best players in the NHL, but I wouldn't want to be his psychiatrist.
At the 2019 draft I was super surprised when PoDkOLZiN fell to 10. I had him pegged as the 4th best player available. I am super excited how he'll transform the Canucks with the intensity in his game and the will to destroy on his way to the puck. I expect him to have just as much impact as Hughes did this year. He should be given every chance to succeed offensively in the top 6 and be able to challenge for the Calder when he lands in 2021-22 as a mature kid. I think he projects as a more tenacious version of Kesler. Messier-like in how he battles for the puck but not in the cheapshot loser sort of way. Actually quite the opposite in that if someone cheapshots his linemate, he's the first one into the pit like a bull with fists flying, loves to stick up for his boys. And he scores when he needs to. One day he's gonna do like Kes and carry the Canucks on his back through the playoffs towards a Stanley Cup, and I think, in his very first season.
What is really funny is all the people that probably would of been better then most of the nhl but because they grow up in a bad enviourment around jealous haters and negative situations they had no control over they were never given the opportunity to play in the nhl.
Pavel bure with the 113th pick is the most surprising. I know the reason why but still it would have been worth wasting a first round pick just in case he decided to come over. He did and Vancouver benefited.
What prospect has surprised you the most?!
Rob Talks Hockey I’d make myself like a 86-87
Great vid Rob
I’d probably make myself 86-87 overall defenseman

Before Elias Pettersson was drafted, he was described in Sweden as "the player you get if you combine the Sedin twins". I dont know about you, but I feel like he has earned that description.

daniel cary He was drafted in 2014, 3rd 79th overall. Source : NHL.com
Adam Elliott he fell super far because he’s undersized, such an incredible steal. Tampa drafts really well, Kucherov was a late 2nd rounder!

Love the videos Rob! Here’s some ideas: Most Surprising Hart Finalists Ever
Best Players to Work their way up from the ECHL (Engelland, Holtby)
Hits/Fights that Never Left a Player the Same (Lindros, Kariya, Staal’s eye)
Best AHLers who Never Produced/Made it in the NHL
NHL Draft Picks who REFUSED to play For the Team that Drafted them (Eli Manning style, Lindros Nordiques)
Teams who Looked Like they were Set up for Failure but Shocked Everyone (CBJ this year after losing Bobrovsky, Panarin and Duchene made the playoffs)
Pronger's eye not staal's
@@catherinearmenti7213 Marc Staal of the Rangers was the big reason behind the mandatory visor rule, but yeah, Pronger had a pretty notable one too.
You could say Staal twice. The shot that hit his eye was AFTER his own brother derailed his career with a dirty hit.
Thanks dude! I really appreciate the feedback. Some of those are great ideas that I will add to the list
I'm from Van, and I swear Pettersson is like the combination of Henrik and Daniel Sedin all in one package
With far better skating. Which is just insane.
You’re from Vancouver but can’t spell his name? Lol
@@insertnamehere1792 What
Nigiri Maki you spelled it wrong. It’s not that big of deal. Just a bit funny lol
The only knock on him is that unlike the Sedins he can't be in two places at once.
Like the Scheifele pick for 2011, but also would throw my hat towards Johnny Gaudreau in the 4th round
Ondrej Palat in the 7th and Josh Manson in the 6th is pretty good too. Not superstars but fantastic players especially that late
Kucherov at the end of the second
Sorry, a diminutive 4th rounder doing as well as Gaudreau has is by far a bigger surprise than Schiefele doing well at 10th overall. 2011 was kind of a no brained, I would have thought...

17th
His defense is trash tho
Yung Philth oops Ik that heinolas pick this year got me confused
jeff ery ya but he’s young he will improve so was laines but he improved on it this year
He was on track for being a great player over the past two seasons he showed good progression, but this year he was below average
Victor Olofson in 2014. 7th round, has 46 points in 60 games so far to start his career.
Kyle Conner he was drafted 17th and he is already good he is gonna be amazing
For me Brendan Gallagher was an awesome late round steal for Montreal and has been one of my favourite players since he first joined the team
Brayden Point has been Tampa Bay's mvp this playoff, a steal in the 2014 draft
Point at 79th overall in 2014, Kucherov at 58th in 2011, the lightning certainly know how to draft
Jesper Bratt was drafted in the sixth round and is all over the NHLs highlight real....
Teravainen is one of my favorite players, but I think the real surprise from the 2012 draft is Jaccob Slavin at 120th overall.
Yep I'd say so! Slavin is arguably the best player from the draft
Tampa bay lightnings Brayden Point, drafted 79th overall but is a wicked key player for the lightning
Also Kucherov at 58th overall
Pavelski, 7th round pick went on to be our captain and put up all star numbers and lead us to a Stanley cup final but not win
Brayden Point was surprising in 2014. Led his junior team in scoring during his draft year but fell to round 3. Now he’s arguably a top 10 center in the league
Not arguably, easily top 10 and debatably top 5
I cant believe I wanted Glass over Pettersson. Him and Hughes are going to bring the Canucks their first cup
Dont forget Demko, Boeser and Horvat. We finally got our 5 cornerstone core players that every cup team tends to have
@@dailydose1729 annnnnnnd how's that working out lol

I would definitely say Jamie benn was way way way better than most people thought he was gonna be considering he was a 5th round draft pick
Probably Alexander Romanov, Primeau, or Caufield for Montreal. Romanov was both an off the board pick in the second round but also a steal. Primeau was a 7th round pick so it's surprising that he's turned into one of the top goalie prospects, and Caufield is a surprise cause of how much he dropped.
Petterson have made me into a Vancouver fan I knew he was going to be good but in about 3 years but he been great sence the first puck drop :)
A year later that 2016 draft might be different. Just look at Jesper Bratt. Almost a point per game player. Drafted in the 6th round.
You should do a vid about player who got better after an injury
Love the vids btw
Like this idea
Agreed
I’d say John Carlson was a somewhat overlooked player in his draft class. He was drafted 27th overall in 2008 and will likely won’t the Norris this year.
Getting PTSD from that 2015 draft as a Bruins fan.
It was sooooo long ago but Henrik Lundqvist was a 7th round pick, 205th overall, in 2000.
In a redraft, only Marion Gaborik would be his competition for the #1 pick.
Rob Cameron has some nasty cookie dust
Ya buddy
8:36 that didn't age well
Petterson from 2nd line center to top 10 player in the NHL back to 2nd line center
Joe pavelski
captained sjs, us olympic team, and is an amazing playoff performer. Arguably the best tipper in the entire league
You slightly mentioned Kuch like a "not a surprise" as if he wasn't selected 56th overall and then won +/- award the first full year in the league and had later become who he had become with Art Ross, Hart, multiple franchise records and even its personal "no move" dangle
Someone did that dangle before him. Anyway on top of all that he’s got a cup now too.
These are all "homer" pics because i'm from Chicago but Debrincat was "too small" Saad was "uncoachable" and Shaw was drafted D+2 I believe and is a consistent NHL'er. Debrincat had down year but will be a perennial 20-30 goal scorer and Saad is an incredibly strong 2 way guy, and always shows up in play offs
Joe Pavelski, the 205th overall pick in the 2003 NHL entry draft and Pavel Datsyuk, the 171st overall selection in the 98 draft.
I am a HUGE Canucks fan but I can’t disrespect the Sedins by saying Petey is better. Petey is an outstanding player but the Sedins did so much for us that we will never forget
As easy as it would have been to pick Kucherov as your 2011 selection, I appreciate the selection of Scheifele because Winnipeg players almost never get the respect they deserve and as someone who has watched Mark's development from day one, I wonder where the Jets would be today without the dynamic Scheifele/Wheeler combo. Of course it would have been extra sweet if the Jets had the same foresight in the second round and selected Kucherov to play alongside Scheifele.
Anyone remember Stone getting leveled by Buff a few years back?
Brad Marchand is a three-way winger. Good defense, offense and...
Well he's a rat
haha but he’s ur teams father so
@@aidenclarke5040 Pretty sure he plays on the Bruins but ok
he does damage on the scoreboard as well as the minds of his enemies
No, Dave Bolland is still The Rat. All I can say about Marchand is that he's one of the very best players in the NHL, but I wouldn't want to be his psychiatrist.
this player didn’t surprise me but surprised the canucks fans. pettersson is a beast
Elias Pettersson - hardest shot in NHL now!!!
Pavel Datsyuk was pretty good for being drafted in the 7th round.
might be too early but Yamamoto !
At the 2019 draft I was super surprised when PoDkOLZiN fell to 10. I had him pegged as the 4th best player available.
I am super excited how he'll transform the Canucks with the intensity in his game and the will to destroy on his way to the puck. I expect him to have just as much impact as Hughes did this year. He should be given every chance to succeed offensively in the top 6 and be able to challenge for the Calder when he lands in 2021-22 as a mature kid. I think he projects as a more tenacious version of Kesler. Messier-like in how he battles for the puck but not in the cheapshot loser sort of way. Actually quite the opposite in that if someone cheapshots his linemate, he's the first one into the pit like a bull with fists flying, loves to stick up for his boys. And he scores when he needs to. One day he's gonna do like Kes and carry the Canucks on his back through the playoffs towards a Stanley Cup, and I think, in his very first season.
Franchise mode series? 👀 👀
Perhapppsss
Sharks drafted Kevin labanc and he really suprized us
I don't know if I would call Petterson a top 10 Talent in the league. Perhaps in his position
Ive been watching hockey for over 18 years, and I can for sure say Petey is top 5 talent in the league.
What is really funny is all the people that probably would of been better then most of the nhl but because they grow up in a bad enviourment around jealous haters and negative situations they had no control over they were never given the opportunity to play in the nhl.
Pavel bure with the 113th pick is the most surprising. I know the reason why but still it would have been worth wasting a first round pick just in case he decided to come over. He did and Vancouver benefited.
You forgot the guy who's jersey is hung behind your head. Teams passed on him but he dances around pros like the kids skating at Robson Square
Great video cousin Rob! Lets freaking GOOOO for game 7!!!!
Thanks Max!! Watching the game right now and it is too much to handle lol
