We also passed on Point to draft Brandon Hickey, who wasn't the most truculent of defensemen. So I think blaming "truculence" doesn't exactly make much sense. Essentially every team passed on Point 2-3 times.
Based on recent history Tre likely would have drafted different people, but to say that it would have been Point is completely baseless. Players like Donato, Dvorak, Montour, Foegle, Wallmark would also be more Treliving like picks.
