I mean I don't think there is a such thing as a "can't miss" prospect at all. Hell we've seen #1OA bust. From the years 2000 to 2009 only 35% of 2nd round pick played 100+ games in the NHL. If odds are low to begin with, why not take a gamble on a higher skill guy and if he hits the payoff is probably more significant. Drafting high floor guess isn't going to increase the probability that they make the NHL.
It appears to be a matter of drafting philosophy here. I feel like the team is a bit risk averse (Ironic considering where they took Senyshyn). In general, their picks seem to bear this out. This would be fine, and in princple I have no problem with it- in a vacuum. But if this is the way they go, then dammit they better improve their pro scouting and talent acquisition side.
