    Question J. Robertson vs Turcotte

    So, a few years ago in one of our fantasy drafts, I drafted Jason Robertson over Alex Turcotte. At the time, I got insulted a lot and my friend was like "lol u so bad" but then Robertson became what we've seen of him.

    Looking back, I find I absolutely made the right choice, but I really never had any closure from my fantasy owner colleagues so I'm turning to y'all.

    Do you believe Alex Turcotte will grow to completely outshine Jason Robertson? Do you believe this was a good choice, not only up until now but for the future?

    (I sadly traded Robertson away in a package that landed me Ovechkin, but I still kinda feel sad. This is really just to steady my inner peace :P)

    I think your draft choice and your trade were the right ones! Well done sir.

    That was clearly a solid draft pick.

    Look at this way, did anybody who bashed you for the pick also bash for getting Ovechkin? If so, I think it'd be the perfect time to giv them a little ribbing.

    No one owns a crystal ball and can determine how these kids will develop after the draft. Thats why you see 1st round picks miss and later round picks hit. It's all up to the player themselves and how they dedicate their work ethic post-draft and the organization to make sure they are given the right path to success. I won't lie, if I was in your draft and you had made that pick at the time, I probably would have scratched my head too. Good guess!

    The Roberston pick does have you looking like a bit of a genius. While Turcotte will come up to speed, Robertson is already there and there's no reason to think he'll turn into a pumpkin.

    I was one of those who fell for Turcotte's future potential. I picked him over Kaprizov and Zegras.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    I did the same thing. Ended up trading him last off season with a 1st rounder for Couts. Then was able to trade Couts for Connor and Bjorkstrand.

    Is that Kyle Connor? If so, what was the other GM thinking?

    I ended up trading Turcotte for Bishop because I needed goaltending but he got injured and never played for my team.

    Yea Kyle Connor. The trade was actually my 3rd round pick, Hirvonen and Couts for Bjorkstrand and Connor. Forgot a couple minor pieces.

    I would rub their noses in it. Fantastic pick. Turcotte might be decent but not in same tier fantasy wise.

    A perfect example of how playing "Fantasy GM" can be so much fun.

    Always have mad respect for any GM who drafts outside of the NHL draft results due to a 'gut feel' on a guy.

    Your choice of J.Rob over Turcotte (at the time) was HUGELY ballsy - and even if they turn out to be 'equal' at their peaks, you got ALL the style points on that pick. Enjoy it (along with the kudos in this thread... very rarely do I find another GM who can handle saying "I was wrong" down the road... so you gotta find that inner peace wherever it shows up for ya!)
