When you are drafting you draft the BPA according to your teams list. This does not mean drafting the quickest guy to the NHL, it means drafting the player who's you feel will have the greatest impact at the NHL level. It's not the greatest impact in 2 years, or the greatest impact in 5 years. It would be the greatest impact though the players entire career.

and a good indicator of BPA, is where they are now. I'm not arguing that a team should never take on a project, I'm arguing in our situation and looking at the picks that were available, we made a poor choice. I look at the Janko pick as taking as long for results and having the probability of success as drafting a goalie. Anybody think we should have drafted a goalie with our 1st if he was the BPA?
