The are plenty of 19 yrs old dominating major junior hockey.
It’s a Boltman type pick. Somebody saw something and thought he is special. Most likely wrong but it’s a gamble

I'm not a fan of the word "wrong" when it comes to such a gut science as scouting.
You want guys making a stand for players that they think will make it.
You don't want a scouting team just flipping to the Hockey News and taken the highest ranked player left on the board.
Have conviction and take swings.
That's what they did. It can't be "wrong" regardless of how it turns out.
