Waste of a good 2nd round pick IMO
Fine, maybe cost him a spot or two but no where near what his size cost him.

I don't know if anyone with that talent could be a waste of a pick though. Worst case scenario is you have to cut ties with him, for a second round pick that would suck but he wouldn't be the only second rounder not to play for his team, on the other hand this guy has more talent than maybe anyone not named Nugent-Hopkins in that draft. As long as he's not causing problems in the locker room, which from all accounts seems to be the case, you know he's not going to go out and party and he's always giving it his all (unlike most draft picks with "attitude problems") so that's a plus. Either way he's a typical boom or bust player with a seemingly higher ceiling than anyone else left on the board, I don't know, I liked the pick.
