It was a remarkably deep draft. Whether the scouts at the time recognized it or not is hard to say as a fan. Still, it's not a matter of hindsight choosing the best player at that point in the draft - there were a bunch of guys who look like they're going to be difference-makers in the NHL.

Makes it even more amazing that Boston is as good as they are. Lost Hamilton, then absolutely blew it at a draft where they loaded up on three first rounders. Imagine if they excelled at that draft? Wow.
