The Ronni over Hutson one is unforgiveable to me though.
Ronni had poor production in Finland, and this organization needed a top offensive defenseman prospect so badly, with the pipeline being pretty slim at the time.
I remember on CP nobody thought Hutson would make it to 59 but when Hutson fell to 59 it seemed like the obvious pick. Especially since it was discussed Hutson was one of the guys the Flames interviewed at the combine that week.

I would have been looking forward to trading his rights to the Rangers for a 2nd round pick next year, that's for sure.
