There are multiple players in many leagues that are statistical outliers that these picks can be spent on, that actually may have some future as a prospect in the systems.
Guys like this, Feuk, Nodler, Mattson have not been elite or even above average scorers in any league.
Seems so wasteful.

Solovyov played in the CHL and recorded 40 points in 53 games. I don't think he is a slouch at all, playing in the KHL (even a little) at 20 is not a small thing either.
But yeah, even if he does develop into a bottom pairing D man, he will get paid much more to play at home.
