What does that have to do with the player? Maybe Feaster and Weisbrod and Button
were smarter than "everyone else" - it's what you have strive to be in that line of business.

No one's trying to "discredit" TT. He was clearly a solid pick for the Chicago Blackhawks. But he wasn't a home run no-brainer and still isn't in retrospect. The only player being discredited is Mark Jankowski, in his own thread.

This might be true but in this scenario I think we would all be bitching that we didn't take Girgensons or Hertl not Jankowski. Pretty sure under no scenario would we be wishing we selected Jankowski if we hadn't.

Something is wrong with a fanbase if we're bitching about missing out on a bunch of career 3rd liners. Not exactly Getzlaf and Perry.
