if you could re-draft the 2014 draft, how would it look like?

The top three are pretty much non-disputable:

1st - Leon Draisaitl (originally 3rd)

2nd - David Pastrnak (originally 25th)

3rd - William Nylander (originally 8th)

Dylan Larkin would have definitely been higher than the original 15th, Brayden Point as well (the guy was drafted 79th), Sam Reinhart would drop out of his original 2nd and so would Aaron Ekblad from his 1st. Jakub Vrana would have also been much lower than 13th - he is talented, with a great shot, but too many hold-backs surrounding and encountering him.

It's literally crazy how many complete busts that draft had in its first round - Michael Dal Colle (5th), Jake Virtanen (6th), Haydn Fleury (7th), Nick Ritchie (10th), Brendan Perlini (12th), Julius Honka (14th)... It's insane to realize that all these guys were drafted WAY before Pasta and it shows you that a high draft position doesn't automatically secure you success in the league.

Sharangovich Says Kuznetsov Has Some Of Best Chirps & Jokes In The League; Capitals Star On His Fun-Loving Style & Antics

..."He [said to me], 'Why can't you stand on your feet, figure skater?'" Sharangovich added. "I remember how he teased [Dmitry] Kulikov. Dima has big gloves... Kuznetsov said, 'Why don't you take off those kid gloves and change them to normal ones?' He not only likes to tease me, he likes to tease everyone."

Kuznetsov has prided himself on his sense of humor and fun-loving personality, declaring this past year that he's not going to change his antics. He even recalled how former teammates Andre Burakovsky and Jakub Vrana would be offended at times by his jokes, but he said that comedy and happiness are two important aspects of his life that he tries to intertwine with his career.

"I'm just not afraid to speak, you know? I always said what I'm thinking. And I believe that if people around me can handle my jokes, that means they always enjoy the life, too, you know?" he said. "Some people may take personal. They don't like me but that's not my business. I want to surround myself around people that kind of see the same way as me...

It's just me. I'm not trying to be somebody else, I'm just like that. You know, if somebody doesn't like that, they can talk, but I'm sorry. That's who I am, and I'm not going to change."

God, he has such corvid energies, I love him.

"I do have a lot of haters... the reputation, whatever." SO powerful.

What are your good and bad surprises in the league so far?

There are, of course, significantly more examples than this, but I don't want this to be a long-ass post so I will just point out my personal highlights of highlights - naturally, they are quite Czech-centered since that's my main interest:

GOOD

The Bruins - obviously.

To be honest, I was slightly anxious about their fate from now on since losing two elite centers like Bergeron and Krejci at the same time, and also guys like Orlov and Bertuzzi, does leave you quite vulnerable, especially after a crushing first-round exit like they have experienced, but they have honestly been rocking it so far and I love it for them.

The Poitras kid, Zacha stepping up his game and delivering as the first center, Pasta showcasing that he very much belongs in the top 10 of the league, Swaymay with Ullmark being the best goaltending duo in the entire league, Marchand giving slays left red right as a captain, the defense being solid...

Filip Hronek in Vancouver

The Hughes-Hronek defensive pairing is among the best right now, they have clicked extremely well with each other, Filip is getting extreme ice time, and I am glad that at least someone from the former Red Wings is thriving in their new home

Quinn is literally leading the defensemen in points and Filip is 4th, which is insane, considering he has never been viewed as a top defenseman among Czechs

Anaheim and Arizona

They still won't make the playoffs, we all know that so let's not be delusional here, but they are finally getting genuinely fun to watch and showing us the immense potential they have.

Logan Cooley is doing great for a rookie in Arizona, has eight points already... - imagine what Bedard would be able to showcase if he had at least a slightly decent team around him

Lukas Dostal in Anaheim's net...

Jack Hughes and Elias Pettersson - for obvious reasons, just look at the stats

BAD

Edmonton

Honestly, has someone told them that having Leon and Connor on the team doesn't mean you don't have to invest in the defense and goaltending because I feel like they genuinely don't know that

Is it really that hard to look around and fetch at least a solid goaltender? They are the complete opposite of Boston right now in terms of the net - sorry not sorry, but they don't have a single goaltender they could truly rely on, both of them are equally struggling and the awful defense is certainly not helping them. Just go look in the European leagues, there are a ton of outstanding goalies who would be eager to play in the NHL if you gave them the chance

Imagine how sore Leon's shoulders must be right now from carrying the team - you can't depend on one elite player to drag you through the mess, you yourself are responsible for, you have to have some sort of backup when one of your stars gets injured

Jonathan Huberdeau

You gotta feel for Calgary right now - signing this guy to an 8-year, $84,000,000 contract and him scoring two goals for you in ten games played...

Jakub Vrana

I was genuinely hoping that St.Louis would be the right destination for him in terms of them giving him the space and ice time to showcase his skills and solidify his position on that roster, but instead, it's the third team that makes him a healthy scratch

I know that there is a lot of pressure there for the team to perform so it might not be entirely Jakub's fault, however, this really is his last chance to stay in the league and currently, he is not delivering the results needed for him to be given another contract

Dominik Kubalik

Watching him at the Worlds where he was single-handedly leading the points of the Czech team and scoring basically every single game at least once, I did have great expectations of him, but so far, he has scored only two goals in Ottawa.

I am not that knowledgeable about the Senators - frankly, the only piece of information I know is that Tkachuk, Stützle, and Giroux are there and that Ryan Reynolds wanted to buy the team before he invested in yet another trash called Alpine in Formula One, but knowing Kubalik, his problem probably is the lack of ice time and competent linemates, which I am not sure is going to improve any time soon

Genuinely hurts to see another former Red Wing struggling
