Instead we drafted Cowen, you know that really tall guy who won the memorial cup and calder cup. Hasn't made the NHL yet. How about we let him play a bit before we wish we chose someone else.
And that Campoli pick went on to draft Kyle Palmieri, after being in the hands of 6 teams. You can't play what ifs and might haves, we might not have drafted Alfredsson we might not have made the playoffs for even longer, what if we chose Chara over Redden we might not have gotten to see the Pizza line, what if we drafted Pronger instead of Daigle our defence might have been amazing, what if Yashin wasn't traded, we might not have seen Spezza or Chara play here. What if we never got a team back we might not be on this board.
