It's not hindsight but I felt the same way the very day we passed on Kopitar who fell and picked Bourdon over him. Bourdon was projected to be a late 15-20 pick that year I believe but we picked him instead of Kopitar.
inb4 Nichushkin pans out to be an Alexander Svitov

If Hovat, Gaunce, Kassian, Jensen, Mallet, Labate, Shinkaruk and Corrado all develop properly, our core will have a very, very different look than it does today

dat grit and character
