You can't just look at the outcome of a draft years later and say who made the right choice. The draft is like Schrodengers Cat.

Of course you can.
We all knew what the choice was right when that pick was made: Go for the risky Russian prospect whose stock had fallen from high first round pick to third rounder, or go for a 'safer' pick.
A lot of people wanted the risky Russian. But history has shown that Sutter made the right choice. More accurately, given there were obviously many other players that could have been picked, Sutter made a better choice than he would have with Kabanov.
