That's ridiculous.
NO OTHER TEAM would offer anything of value for Savard or St. Louis when the Flames moved them out. If you want to blame that on bad scouting, then every organization in the entire league has bad scouting – which makes the word ‘bad’ meaningless.
As for Brodeur, yes, Kidd was a higher-rated prospect in his draft year. It was impossible to tell at the time that Brodeur had it in him to work on his skills and become the best goalie in the game, or that Kidd would simply stop developing soon after his draft year and wouldn't even bother to try.
Stuff like this is why redrafts made in hindsight always look wildly different from the actual draft.
