They were wrong in the sense they traded down and passed over other quality prospects because they got so caught up in their own hype machine. Smartest guys in the room and came off really smug. Not sure where that kind of arrogance came from but you generally don't see NHL executives acting like fan boys, gushing over a guy like that. Embarrassing time to be a fan of this team.
