Don't see the point in grinding on this one. The right call was made at the time. Period.

I don't disagree with your comment "right call was made at the time" but how many of these scenarios have there been where it seemed like it was the right call but turns out it wasnt, from past eras to now? St Louis, Savard previously, then Bennett, and now Milano, Valimaki, Kylington ( very lucky he wasnt claimed)
Just seems to be too many players succeeding elsewhere, and not here.
