Why can't anyone believe that they might be right. So far Emile sounds pretty good to me.

Best player by who's definition though?
Just because he was rated higher on many scouting lists doesn't mean he was the best player and certainly doesn't mean he was rated the best player available by any one particular team (the Flames in this case, but also the other dozen or so teams that passed on him)
Fans talk like BPA is a clear-cut fact: this player is #1, this player is #2...
It simply isn't that black and white.
The Flames took the guy that they thought was the BPA - and they got heavily criticised for it
