Definitely not. But if they trade down and take him it might've helped their draft better overall.
There's two different problems in EDM and I think they are getting confused and muddled together.
#1) Their scouting sucks and therefore they have a problem identifying the BPA. See taking Gagner over Voracek/Couture.
#2) They don't seem to have the strength of their convictions to actually take the player their scouts like best. Reportedly they take Yakupov over Murray when their scouts like Murray better. Reportedly MacTavish overrules the scouts and takes Nurse over Nichushkin due to positional need when their scouts like Nichushkin better.
It's a two-fold problem. I'm guessing Chiarelli has tried to address both ends of the problem.
