FWIW, Girgensons is someone I would say most people "otherwise never care about", so by your criteria, is a good pick. (Case in point, the post above that called him Slovakian. He's Latvian) Kane, Toews, Keith and Seabrook are all all-star calibre players, so that makes the only potentially "egregious" choice to be Crawford.
Are we really going to get so upset because Crawford made it ahead of someone like... Quick?
