I will give GM's a pass when it comes to drafting as nobody has a crystal ball when it comes to predicting how good a teenage hockey player will be playing against men but pro scouting in this league sucks period.

Not really.
Your argument is that fan voting has a better track record than some GMs. But the problem with that is that 'fans' does not include the same people each time.
Groups will have a better track record than individuals, because groups, aggregately, have more information.
The stock market is a similar thing. Individuals rarely outperform the market by picking stocks because individuals have finite information, while the market (i.e. all investors in teh aggregate) has all information.
