It’s especially worse knowing that Button wanted him earlier with the pick they traded away, which means he was ranked higher than Debrincat, Kyrou, Girard, Carter Hart etc. All great NHL players
Wolf was taken deep in the 7th round. It’s a successful pick already ALREADY given he’s signed and surpassed Parsons on the depth chart.

That's just silly.
Parsons was drafted and then went on to star at the World Juniors and win a memorial cup. That's instant draft success.
Injuries and off ice issues have hurt him since but that doesn't change that it was a good draft pick.
Wolf hasn't had a setback yet so he's moving in the right direction, but he doesn't have Parson's resume yet.
