No scout in the world is that good.

sure they are - that is why Detroit took Bob Boughner in the 2nd round in 89 - to confuse the other teams, so that they could sneak Lidstrom down to the 3rd round. /green
By the way... Detroit's selections in 1989:
Mike Sillinger 1st
Bob Boughner 2nd
Nick Lidstrom 3rd
Segei Fedorov 4th
Dallas Drake 6th
Vlad Konstantinov 11th
(I skipped the failed picks)
That tee-ed them up for a while.
