As much as Flames fans seem to hate on Horvat I think he's going to end up as a fantastic player and I'm not sure the gap between him and Monahan is going to end up as big as Flames fans think it will in a couple years. Hate having to defend Horvat but he seems criminally underrated around here at times. Monahan obviously more of an impact player early on but I think the gap will close somewhat.
Blah. Hate having to defend Canucks. We'd take Horvat on our team any time though, kid is gonna be a player.

Yeah Horvat is a fine player and all, and I would totally take him on our team, but anyone who had him ahead of Monahan on that draft day was wrong.
Look, I know you're an evangelical for the "there is no board" thing as though you feel people literally think there is a board, but people actually do understand that not everyone or every team ranks every player the same way.
We get it, it's not a difficult concept. People talk about a "board" or a ranking in a general consensus sense. Horvat at six was wrong then and it's still wrong today. It's just an example of love for a player blinding decision making. Which is what happened yesterday.
