Worse 2nd round pick.... Jimmy Clausen or Eric Shelton?

Eric Shelton. At least Jimmy tried and gave us something on the field all be it crap. Quite literally not a single thing I can remember about from Eric except a huge hole lot of nothing. I never remember seeing him on the field, scoring a touch down or just ever playing.

Absolute. Garbage.

It's been about 10 years, so I guess I can finally agree that Eric Shelton was a bad pick.

I'm willing to accept the bad Clausen pick, because he has slipped and it was worth taking a shot on him. Shelton just sucked.

I'd consider Jeff Otah to be worse than both of them though, since he cost us a 2nd rounder and a future 1st.

I'd say Shelton; I don't remember the situation for him...but I'm sure we weren't in as bad of a situation as we were with Clausen. Clausen had a lot of weight on his shoulders as a rookie that Shelton didn't and wouldn't have had. No rookie would be jealous of the team Clausen had to inherit.

    • Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.
    • I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.
    • Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
