Back around the loop to the Ritchie conversation..

And by the logic listed above shouldn't we just dismiss draft rankings entirely? Because clearly they have no use. Guys who watch these kids as a career get it wrong all the time, right. I mean it's never really ended up being entirely accurate in the past, so why don't we draft Goldobin at 4th overall? Clearly better than Draisaitl, who I have a feeling will not have a hope at translating his game to the NHL, because, well.. I just have a feeling!

Dear lord.

Try sitting down, reading up and watching video on these kids. Having taken the time to do this, I can fully agree with the scouts that Ritchie is the 6th-7th BPA in this draft. But very unlikely the 4th. You may agree/disagree, that's up to you. But don't just base your opinion on the word of people who're obsessed with the idea of the Flames picking him, or are offended by the some made up stereotype in here that bigger=dumber/less skilled. It's not true.
