In the case of Bader, he doesn't claim to be a scout. He applies the statistics into the model he's built, and that defines his ranking. It's a completely different approach, and I think it still remains to be seen how good the model is, as he hasn't been doing it long enough to really know.
There is no loss of credibility because he's not a scout.

Bader has never shied away or hid his ranking criteria from anyone. It's simply a gathering of statistics.
His model also says last year's Flames draft class was among the best its seen in a 34-year span, and this fanbase has been salivating about last year's draft class all season long, so I think his model has some validity to it.
Bader's model is certainly worth the follow and not a simple throwaway

I must not be understanding his "criteria", or his "model", because he has two late-round picks (at best, they might not even be drafted) in the first-round. I apologize for my harsh comments though, I understand what's it's like to be mocked for opinions, while not claiming to be a scout.
