Funny how it actually works out with other teams sometimes. Not so much with the Oilers. Not once in fact.
Just guessing, but that was probably just because he fell (he was the #3 ranked NA skater), and they wouldn't have done their due diligence, because they wouldn't think he'd fall to them. I've heard he's got some character issues

character issues is the most overrated thing ever. at the end of the day 99% of the time its because the guy simply wasn't good enough.
The draft age should be 20 at the earliest, would let more guys realize sooner that they aren't cut for pro hockey as well.

Hahaha oh man, I've never actually seen them use that rating. Not even for *eerie music plays* Troy Hesketh.
I remember exactly why this was done. Caron had actually retired by then, he went into financial planning, but I was told he had to stay on the Oilers prospects page so I naturally gave him the worst rating that I could next to being dead.
This thread brought back a lot of memories for me. I think I was in charge of this for about 5 years from about 2004-2009.
