Emotion typically doesn't help in a discussion. You've become very emotional.
NHL teams hope for more than a fourth liner out of their first round pick. That doesn't mean all first round picks become elite players. A lot of them bust. Getting a fourth liner out of a 1st round pick isn't an epic fail by any means. My point was simply that teams hope for more than a fourth liner our of their 1st round picl so to suggest that a player that is a fourth liner is exactly what a team hoped for when they made the pick as a first rounder is wrong.
I'll let you get the last word in. It seems important to you. Cheers!
The Bruins drafted Frederic with the guess that his floor is an NHL 4th liner, doesn't seem that much of a stretch. That said, according to scouts, some in the management probably hoped that he could develop his offense a bit more, then they'd end up with a guy they potentially thought could be in the middle 6 (ceiling). He was supposed to take a more offensive role on his team after his draft year. Not saying remotely he'll get there or not, if you care enough go back to that year, there's plenty of draft guides that say the same about him, I at least remember that tidbit about him.
Of course every teams wants the best case scenario, but they picked they guy they wanted. And rightfully/wrongfully, I'm assuming they think he had/has more offensive upside. Whether he gets there, that's a different discussion.
