I don't think the Blue Jacket's are wishing that they went with Puljujarvi instead of Dubois, who was also a late riser into the top 5.
Critic the player all you want, but the fact that he was a riser alone shouldn't be anywhere close to a major red flag. Great prospects rise and fall all the time.
No, you’re right it’s not a major red flag. And I love KotK as a player. I think he’s going to be great. I just see teams regret taking players based on need vs best player available often, especially at the top end of the draft. For example, what if Tampa would’ve taken Jones instead of Drouin? And I think that there is some difference in Zadina potential vs Kotk potential. To me, I take Zadina.
