This selection was backed from the guy who identified the likes of Gaudreau and Fox in the mid to late rounds.. you can’t hit on every pick. You have to go to bat on guys you believe in and sometimes it just doesn’t work out. This is also a player who up until recently had just fully committed to one sport. Who knows where he will be in three years time. He’s very raw in terms of his hockey development.
We are talking about a late 3rd that was acquired for essentially nothing. It’s easy to scout from behind your keyboard with the advantage of hindsight.
Scouting is difficult. Who woulda thunk?!
