I don't think there is such thing as a fluke pick.
Each and every pick in a draft is a deliberate pick. You are choosing one of hundreds of guys. So why that one? The point of the draft is to build your hockey club. Ergo, each pick is made with the intention of choosing the player most likely to be beneficial to your hockey club.
Was Brodie a fluke pick? Not at all.
Brodie's development may be unexpected, but the fact remains that Brodie was the one player chosen out of hundreds available at that point in the draft, because he was viewed as the most likely to be beneficial to the Calgary Flames.
That's how it's done. It's not even like he was the only good late-round pick. Nyquist, Spurgeon, Tokarski, Lindback, Bartkowski, Atkinson, and Wingels were all taken after him.
Brodie was no fluke. There is no such thing as a fluke pick. You pick the player you think is going to be the best out of the players available.
