While I don't necessarily agree with the pick I definitely don't agree with the standard CP meltdown.
Kanzig is a high risk high reward type pick much like how a tiny very skilled player is. If the guy could learn to skate better and get a grasp of the game he could be a beauty.
People have to remember that Chara didn't do a heck of a lot at the time he was drafted. They don't even have stats on him for his draft year at hockeydb. I'm sure the Islanders fans (if there are any) were up in arms about how they wasted a pick on a giant goon.
It's a very very risky pick but we can't write the guy off entirely.
