In 5 years will we look back and see that there was a better player that went after those guys? Also probably.

But that's almost always the case.
Jiri, you can’t miss when you draft 2nd overall. He better be a top 5 player in the draft. It’s like Misa this year, if SJ passed on him and went with Frondell like some were saying then that’s a huge miss. When you draft top 3 you better have one of the top 5 players in the draft. Chicago drafted 2nd and 3rd in back to back drafts and neither of those guys will be a top 5 player in their respective drafts.
