What if the Avs had Logan Stanley as their second D after Sergachev, how would the draft D at all costs folks feel? It's very much a possibility that could have happened.
The thing about Chychrun gets back to what I said earlier about not judging guys against their peers that haven't had the same opportunities. He certainly can prove people wrong but he hasn't yet.
Than someone would have to get fired because Stanley was a huge reach. Will never understand why they traded up.
Chychrun received Doughty comparisons in his draft - 1 year and ran into some injury problems in his draft year.
But that year overall was still decent enough to easily go way higher. He just got overscouted and picked apart for the wrong reasons and because he could not live up to the ridiculous hype from the year before.
This to me isn't about proving people wrong but about scouts making a big mistake for the wrong reasons....
Yes ultimately we have to wait for a few years and as I said, Tippett and the Coyotes are doing their best to prove you right but right now it does not look good for the people that made him drop like a rock.
I was second in command on his bandwagon after henchy back then and I have no plans to abandon ship anytime soon .
