Holland and co. Love being the smartest guys in the room
and reaching for a guy ahead of where he should go rather than taking a guy who has fallen in their lap. The goalie would have made too much sense to have a potential home-grown star goalie ready to step in when old man Smith is done
|
This is my concern. This is Draft #3 for Holland here and the third time that he bucked all the scouting reports and decided our guys know better than everyone else. Three years in a row where we leave a bunch of guys ranked higher on the board to get the guy we sneaky like.
I don't like that. I don't have confidence that our scouting staff are way smarter than everyone else.

I took out the bottom and top three. Leaves a median and average of 23. I think we can debate the intelligence of trading down and skipping out on a goalie but I dont think this was a reach.
|
Is there a difference though between reaching and ignoring the highly touted prospect that fell to you and fits a position of need? I guess they are different things but also both attributes of Oilers management.

Xavier Bourgault.. ha sto be one of the worse 1st round picks Oilers have made in modern times.
|
Ahh, checking out my sad cope in this thread, hoping something was wrong with Wallstedt as the reason he fell to us in the draft. Lots of dreams about what Bourgault could become. Oilers are jerks making us do this. Smartest guys in the room struck again.
