I'd be stunned if Columbus took JP just because the GM passed on him. Maybe some people think that doesn't mean anything but he clearly knew something that made it so he didn't like him back then and no offense but I don't think JP has done much to make the Finnish Gm like him more now. Maybe with Laine on the team there is a draw but I don't see it.

We’ve talked about this before, recently too. There’s no magic Finnish radar on knowing if Finnish players are going to turn out or not. They picked a Center who the organization felt was the best fit for them at the time (and who ultimately they needed to trade because he didn’t want to be there. They made a bet, like everyone does at draft day.
Otherwise, everyone should hire at least one Finnish sage to help with their drafts.
Man - there are a lot of weak old recycled narratives being pushed in here today.
