I didn't mind the gamble though. Big, skilled centres who skate well are hard to find. If it had worked, it would have been a home run.
Their mistake was how they pumped the tires so much. They shouldn't have done that. But the rationale behind the pick itself was sound.
If you are going to take big swings on upside (which I believe in because they can alter a franchise) then you are going to miss on some of them.
