I always come back to Cardinals GM Steve Keim, who, at the NFL combine, was once asked about character concerns of certain prospects and said "if Hannibal Lecter ran a 4.3 in the 40 dash, we'd diagnose it as an eating disorder". The Bruins probably underestimated the amount of backlash and figured it adding a prospect who dominated the USHL for free was worth it.
Someone said that? That is hilarious!
