You're making it sound like teams don't go off the concensus board all the time, especially after the first 7-8 picks.
What's your opinion on Poirer and Shinkaruk pick? Concensus said there's better prospect in Shinkaruk sitting their but we went off the board and took Poirer?
Matta was passed over by several teams just like Shinkaruk was. Not to mention Matta hasn't won the Norris or anything close to declare him the better prospect right now. He's in a good situation on a winning team. Don't forget couple years back Del Zotto, Gardiner etc were looking great. As a dman doesn't take look great one year and really bad the next.
Like you said lets wait and see how this plays out. Far too early.

I agree time will tell, but if that's the only cause to post speculation this thread would be nonexistent. It certainly doesn't look good in my (totally unqualified) opinion
