Sure but Tedenby is a guy in the bust category and he certainly was drafted on the basis of high end skill
There are no black and white rules when it comes to selecting players.
Though I will say I agree with the notion that hockey sense/IQ is the most important attribute to look for. It elevates skilled players to a higher level, and allows players with some flaws, like skating, to still excel.
Hockey sense is the x-factor, which is why I'm pleased to see that the Flames are focusing a lot on it.
