Yeah, up until the game winning goal where AMart got bashed in the corner, Doughty went into Panic mode, and Quick let in a half softie?Originally Posted by Kubrick
He's not supposed to be out there in that situation, so I'll give him that. Last year, that pairing was Greene and Mitchell.
at the draft party a couple of years ago, and under a considerable haze, i heard Birdman yell out the following (about 4 or 5 times, i think) - "don't marry yourselves to players!" he went on to reiterate that idea more than once on the boards, and i believe it to be absolutely sage.

I'm not sure I'd be so proud about trumpeting my desire to have taken Ellerby over Hickey 5 years ago.
I mean... you're arguing about which marginal bubble NHLer "should" have been taken with the 4th overall pick half a decade ago.
The correct answer is neither of them.
The correct answer was the guy one spot later, Karl Alzner. He was the consensus #4 that year.
He may have been the consensus, but I'm guessing he'd be considered a bust by now if he played here. Not a Hickey/Teubert bust, but certainly not playing top 4 (*with Mitchell in the lineup).
Everyone would be wringing their hands and wondering why he never reached his potential. In fact, he'd probably be getting traded soon. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he does get traded soon.
