So, there were more misses than hits. I’ll admit that first.

Last year, when I listed the 10 players I’d be comfortable taking higher than our rankings suggested they were worth, I was all in on John Klingberg. That worked out just fine, as he pushed 60 points. I loved the potential of Martin Jones. He was No. 4 on my list. He nearly led the Sharks to a Stanley Cup. I thought Taylor Hall was undervalued, and his 65 points last season were the second-most of his career.

But man was I wrong about Valeri Nichushkin, Jonathan Drouin and Evander Kane. I don’t even want to talk about Alexander Semin.
