This isn't directed at you in particular, but it is funny how the desirability of a prospect increases once the liklihoood of acquiring him decreases.
Before the lottery, there were a lot more critics of Tkachuck on this board. People calling him just a complimentary player, lacking in high end skill. I think I was one of those too.
But after the lottery, with the Flames unlikely to get him, I don't see a lot of the critics around anymore. It seems like Tkachuk is now the dream selection but it would take a miracle to get him.
Maybe it's just the critics are silenced cause they don't have to worry about the Flames taking him now. Or it could be the "grass is greener on the other side" mentality or wanting something you can't have thinking.
I know this for sure, whoever the Flames take, there will be a very vocal population on this board who will hate it, and hate on Burke, hate on Treliving. Treliving could land the 1st overall and take Matthews and half the board will hate him for passing on Laine.
