Did Nathan Horton, as an 18 year old, have any previous injuries that would've prevented you from taking him in the draft (I actually don't know?)? If not, I don't see what assessment you could've made in 2003 that's not based on pure paranoia.
actually he did have concussion problems...

but thats besides the point... I don't think this is worth any more talk. Injuries happen? Holy crap you don't say... ok since we all now know that injuries happen in hockey, even to high draft picks who may have moved teams 3x in 11 years, lets move on....
