You are still talking of a 7-round draft, when chances are starting being taken in the 3rd round. He did enough to be chosen. But the Q is obviously underscouted. And underappreciated. Sure, with some good reasons along the way, hence the number of kids chosen. But my point is that if a scout would hesitate between 2 candidates, chances are they won't go for the Q player. And that's how it is. Doesen't mean eveything as far as the quality of the player per se.
The kid got 28 points than the #2 scorer. Sorry, that for me is enough to at least give you a chance in the 7th round. See....there's a guy like that who almost wasn't picked either, was picked...but just in the 7th round. And his name is Francis Perron. He also didn't look all that awesome in his draft year. Was awfully tentative out there. Was weak and always seemed too reactive and not proactive. And yet...he got picked anyway. And look how it's looking. Not saying it will translate though...but for a 7th rounder, looks damn fine.
. what are the odds of that?
, we will sign Fortier at the end of this one too. But I choose to revise my opinion once I see him. Habs will need to have at least start their camp on Sunday.
