He totally was. And there were many who thought he was more of a better goal scorer if you read between the lines. But at this point he was just a second line talent. Probably no less. But the question is even in a bad draft year why give up that pick when they weren’t good enough for the playoffs as a playoff team? At the time I admit I fell into the trap of going for it based on the regular season success but when they didn’t have much of a chance giving that pick up wasn’t good at all.
