A good talker such as Weisbrod could fake him out and he wouldn't even know it. He'd have him saying what he thought were cool sayings such as post-apex and thinking we were buying it.
Who was the scout who sold him on Cervenka and told him he was a centre? If he had some hockey knowledge he should have known what he was getting, another of his 17 small, don't touch me LWrs.
It isn't just drafting either, it's examples such as his Regehr trade that show his incompetence at judging players.
