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

I believe you said the same thing about picking Phaneuf over Getzlaf. Yes, there is a benefit of hindsight. But no, this was absolutely the wrong call at the time, because they have got it all wrong. They probably had their reasons for making these calls/choices, but those reasons (even if valid) were also obviously wrong, because they had led them to make the wrong selections.
