You trust your scouts to give you opinions on individual players and how they compare to others, but they are not the ones planning and directing the master plan for your team. The GM sets the overall plan, the scouts give you specifics.

if it was 2008 and the LA Kings or St. Louis Blues just decided no defenseman in the top 5 and bypassed Doughty or Piertangelo for Colin Wilson/Nikita Filatov (the next two forwards picked) things in the West would probably be a lot different.

Ha, well sure, cherry pick the one year that it works out (and also one of the deepest drafts for Dmen ever) and ignore almost every other year where the forward is more valuable. There will always be outliers in any set of stats, but me, I'll bet on the much higher odds if all things are equal. I prefer the stupidly obvious way.
Btw, the dman drafted 15th that year has as many points as Doughty in over 100 fewer games. You don't see anyone even close to that when it comes to Stamkos and the forwards do you?
