I won't because I don't actually care how he's ranked... I was simply pointing out he wasn't making the argument he intended to make.

Even if the 4th overall pick ends up bong the 10th best player, I'd hardly say that makes the pick a flop, or that it means he's a 'bad player'... anyway, Go Flames Go!
