Back in 2014, the majority of people on this Message board were hoping that Sam Bennett would be the guy who Calgary would get. Had the Flames picked Ehlers, or fell back, the sentiment at the time would have been one of disbelief. There used to be a lot of desire for a top 5 pick, and often the number 4 pick can turn out to be a bit of a dud. Inside the top 3 normally makes a huge difference, but in any draft the best player might go 140 spots in...you never really know. Always easy 7 years later to say idiot scouts should have taken player x or player y with pick z. Boston is usually quite good at drafting...imagine what they'd be if they take Chabot, Connor, and Barzal in a row. Maybe they should stop cheaping out on scouting too?
