On this episode of the podcast Steve is joined by Byron Bader of HockeyProspecting.com to revisit the events of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. They relitigate the big trades including Philadelphia trading Jeff Carter and Mike Richards, Minnesota trading Brent Burns, and Toronto and Ottawa's moves up the draft board.
Then they re-draft the top-14 picks, discussing which teams in the lottery would like a mulligan, and which come away satisfied. Tune in to find out if Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Gabriel Landeskog and Jonathan Huberdeau hold their places at the top of the draft, and to find out how high later picks like Nikita Kucherov and Johnny Gaudreau can climb.
It's an excellent trip down memory lane that also explores many lessons we can learn from the successes and failures of the 2011 draft, bringing in contemporary examples as well.
