Didn't work out that way - but the Kidd over Brodeur thing is one of the classic examples of the benefits of hindsight.

That's partially fair but the New Jersey scouts seemed to like Brodeur over Kidd, or else they would have just taken Kidd with their pick.
In the end it is hindsight but the Devils got that decision right and the Flames got it wrong.
I'm just happy the Devils didn't draft Doug Weight with the extra second they picked up from us...because that would have really been the cherry on top.
