Depends on what Boston's scouting department values, though. Maybe they thought both those guys are too "pass-first" or "perimeter". Every department values players differently. To be honest I was just as shocked when New Jersey passed those two players up for Zacha. The Flames definitely value skilled players like that, but there's more than one way to skin a cat.
There really is no "Board"

Chances were high that he'd have dropped to about 45 overall...which, of course, we gave them.

Well, I disagree on that. Due to his status as the biggest sleeper in the draft, the chances of him being there at 45 were about the same as Barzal being there at 15... something we were crossing fingers for but not realistic. I mean the latter happened, but should not have happened.
