Some people are acting as if this win cost us a chance at a franchise player. It didn't, there will probably be a franchise player left if we take the right player and have some luck with their development.
At least there is some reason to believe our scouting is a lot better than during the Tkaczuk/Fata/Saprykin/Krahn era.

People like to talk about Tkaczuk like he was a bad pick at 6th. He wasn't a reach and was picked whre he was projected to be picked. It just illustrates how much more hit and miss it gets when you draft outside the top 3 in the draft.
