Oh really? You put it all in perspective so nicely.

Yes....lots of teams passed on Weber and other great players through the years. I think the poster might be alluding to the fact that we chose ramholt (a swiss dude ranked #17 in European skaters) over Weber (ranked #42 in NA; a guy in our back yard while we had a GM who liked would probably be happier picking WHL products).
