Spotting top-tier talent is second nature to me including finding diamond in the rough, something I've done for years—and it's not as difficult as it seems. Also, recognizing players who will underperform or be marginal NHLers in the first round can sometimes be even easier than finding stars. Many people assume that having an NHL title automatically means someone has a keen eye for player selection, but I assure you that's not true. Time will tell, and I'm perfectly comfortable having my posts etched in CP history for all to see.

Nothing erodes credibility faster than statements like the bolded.
