Only because people put way too much emphasis on 15 games where he struggled to adjust to NCAA a bit.
Personally I put more emphasis on the two full seasons where he dominated the WHL as a 16 and 17 year old.
And sure maybe you get lucky and hit on a Kucherov or a Gaudreau (I'd rather focus on players from the last 20 years) but it's not some controversal opinion to state that most elite / generational players are picked in the top 5 of the draft.
