it's not unpopular stop saying non sense. I've read many people on this board shared your thought after the draft. The zadina crowd quieted down now it's turn of the Tkachuk crowd. I've read many people complaining we did not go BPA which is valid but we still got a pretty good player now in Kotkaniemi let's just see how he develops.
It's premature to say we should of drafted a guy who was a better BPA at this stage. Kotkaniemi was drafted cause he is a center and it's about the long game and how he looks when he is 20, 21, 22. As far as the Zadina and Tkachuk supporters. They are not necessarily wrong cause those are two dam good prospects as well. I never did get the Tkachuk hate by many on our boards. Those who compared him to a McCarron type pick were way off the rails. Remember the Bergevin will draft Tkachuk cause he loves those types of players comments?
The only way you know who BPA is you have ability to predict the future. Now if Zadina scores multiple 40+ goal seasons, Tkachuk ends up being a power forward who plays top line, and Kotkaniemi turns into a 3rd line center, then those who supported Zadina and Tkachuk have every right to say we should of took BPA. But that means they thought Kotkaniemi would bust and his ceiling was a 3rd line center.
