Not really sure how this really relates to the point about Fleury being a better choice to make draft picks though or his stupid point using individual busts as examples of why not choosing a type of player is a pretty poor way to evaluate picks.
An inebriated monkey with central hockey scouting lists could have drafted better.
which is verifiable if I could raise research funding.

Fleury examples were the golden boys (projected by scouts to be NHLers) that were around him at training camps. First round picks like Sundblad and Mettson and Saprykin who really hadn't done much in careers. I put Backlund in that category. I'm sure he would have had more respect for Hudler or Datsyuk and their resume's upon entering NHL.
