Didn't say they were pursuing Harvey. I said the response from the critics were they should have gone after Harvey, you know, because he was the better prospect because of his draft position. That was the hand wringing back then and the same silly trope holds in current discussions. Draft position doesn't mean squat. Sam Bennett is obviously the better player than David Pastrnak because one was drafted top 10 and the other was drafted in the mid-20s. Lets not even look outside the first round as all those players are crap. I mean Braden Point (79) or Kevin Leblanc (171) won't amount to anything being drafted so low. This is something people have to get by. Good players are good players regardless of their draft position.
