The point is that any over reaction - positive or negative is unfounded. Like every pick tonight time will ultimately tell if it was a good one. I feel a lot better about this pick than the Chucko or Pelech pick however.

The reach is because the kid isn't playing a high level of competition, so its pretty hard to tell how good he is, night in, night out.
At 14, Calgary had other players they could have picked outside of TT, who I just say as good value considering his ranking.
people saying that this kid is going to be a number 1 center are equally exaggerating as those of us calling it a reach.
I feel pretty much the same as I did when we dropped down from picking Zajac to pick Chucko.
That said, I would be more than willing to eat crow if this kid turns out.
