Adding onto the OP’s comments, how many of you criticizing the pick have seen Tkachuk/Zadina play enough to be able to properly evaluate them??
I am easily smarter than some scouts no question - Same goes for people on here that's just reality. You don't need to be working for a team to be deemed smarter that's non sense argument and always has been.
person B can can be a math teacher but i bet i am better than most teachers at math for example.
This isn't about Zadina/ Tkachuk debate just talking in general - Many non-scouts have been correct in calling out terrible picks from all teams.
Doesn't matter if scout has watched more of a player they could still be incorrect.Adding onto the OP’s comments, how many of you criticizing the pick have seen Tkachuk/Zadina play enough to be able to properly evaluate them??
Yes, i think i could do the job better ! I am not trying to sound cocking or anything but i truly believe that ! I have a better job so never went that route.But can you teach said math material to others and be good at it? That’s a skill in its own right.
and fans don't?I think scouts end up building emotional attachments to some players and it hampers their objectivity.
and fans don't?
I do a lot of calculating
Also I can see the future while I sleep. Pretty cool.

Very good at math yes i think could do better than some teachers for sure.Believe me, you are.
Pro scout, expert at math and at teaching, what can’t you do?
Gotta put your money where your mouth is my friend. Give me your picks for this draft once it ends, if you were a scout for Ottawa who you would have taken at each draft pick.
Oh geez, why could I do someone's job who makes a relatively meager salary and is performed by legions of white men with a history of brain trauma? I dunno watching hockey seems real hard.
Scouts do this!!?? ....and fans on a message board don't?I think scouts end up building emotional attachments to some players and it hampers their objectivity.
Yeah but their opinion counts, your doesn'tI'm not saying I'm better than them but I have my opinions, just like they do.
Meh, I make mistakes too. But sometimes I'm right.
I remember being super pissed at Jack Skille being picked 2 picks before our pick in the 2005 draft (probably the biggest miss I've had in terms of personal projections on players I love). I also didn't like the Cody Ceci pick when most of the board loved him.
The beauty of a forum is that we are all allowed opinions.
