Team scouts make mistakes due to lack of watching players and NHL team scouts simply don't watch bad CHL teams enough, independent scouting services are more right then wrong.

Brayden Point went 79th but was ranked 31 by the CSS, ISS had him ranked 34.

David Goyette went 61st but CSS had him 13th, ISS had him 37th, Button had him 22nd and Mckenzie had him 45th.

Not one scout or scouting service had Topi Ronni going in the second round, I'm not saying he won't be a good player but fact is it was an off the board pick at 59.
