Default '93 Draft Revisited

1993 NHL Entry Draft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is incredible.

Kings coulda had Demitra in '93 but they had to take:

Shayne Toporowski (RW) Jeffrey Mitchell (C) Bob Wren (LW)
Frederick Beaubien (G) Jason Saal (G) Tomas Vlasak (C)
Jere Karalahti (D) Justin Martin (R) Travis Dillabough (L) AND Martin Strbak (D)

before him.

This is neither here nor there, however...

And we also drafted:

Kimmo Timonen (D) Patrick Howald


This is probably a cautionary tale that 'not all that glitters is gold' vis-a-vis 2008 draft...but i doubt it.

The Kings shoulda traded mother fn Gretzky to Hartford for their first pick.

Knowing the Kings, they would have used the pick to take Nick Stajduhar.

Yeah trade Gretzky the year we made it to the cup, that would have made everyone happy.

Yeah so could every other team in the NHL.....so what is your point?

The Kings could have also drafted Scott Walker, Hall Gill, Darcy Tucker, Mike Grier, Todd Marchant, and about a dozen other players who had decent careers.

Wow, so Karalahti was our most notable guy from that draft? And still, not our highest pick. And Eric Daze was chosen at #90. Oh well, no reason to stay in the past.
