shocky2002 36 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 Came in and expected exactly what I saw: people talking about his "heart" and "grit" as if it amounts to anything on the ice. Wow. Steve Ott made that play and that play and that play that one game. Let's remember those small samples and forget about the 500 shifts where he got outshot 60-40.

BobL 28 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 Is there actually any value in a sixth round pick? I don't think they hide Zetterbergs and Datsyuks down there anymore... I mean, as a UFA, there was no point in keeping him and get whatever you can, etc, but... I can't get excited about a sixth, and wouldn't be sad if he came back as the cheap role playing 4th liner he was... though I have no problem with kids getting a shot too.

I don't think anyone is getting too excited about a 6th round pick. But a pick, no matter how late, is more valuable to the team going forward than another handful of games from Steve Ott... No, there aren't many steals in the late rounds, but there still are a few just about every year. Go back around 5 drafts (that's how long it takes these guys to develop) and you will see a few players drafted in the 5th-7th rounds that are decent to good NHLers today. And again, even a decent player 5 years from now is better than pointlessly holding onto an unrestricted free agent... 2012 Connor Brown (6th round, 156 overall) Linus Ullmark (6th round, 163 overall) 2011 Josh Manson (6th round, 160 overall) Jyrki jokipakka (7th round, 195 overall) Ryan Dzingel (7th round, 204 overall) Alexey Marchenko (7th round, 205 overall) Ondrèj Palat (7th round, 208 overall) Scott Wilson (7th round, 209 overall) 2010 Jesper Fast (6th round, 157 overall) Mark Stone (6th round, 178 overall) Frederik Andersen (7th round, 187 overall) Zach Trotman (7th round, 210 overall) No studs, but I'd take every one of them over a few games of any player...

There are late round steals since 2012 as well, just waiting to get their chance to prove themselves. Hopefully some were drafted by the Wings... I still think James De Haas could be a solid bottom 4 defenseman. Maybe Axel Holmstrom and / or Matthias Elfstrom develop into bottom 6 forwards. And that's just looking at the last two rounds...

Good luck with the Habs Yeah, sucks to lose Ott, but he was UFA and Holland wasn't going to resign him, nor is he needed going forward. Holland got a 6th for him, which is a lot better than keeping him around for the rest of the regulars and letting him go for nothing. Good luck with the Habs for sure. He's getting up there and hasn't won a cup. This gives him a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
