“If this fourth-round pick doesn’t pan out, fire the scout responsible”.
That’s not verbatim, but I remember seeing many a sentiment along those lines when the Ottawa Senators selected Viktor Lodin with the 94th pick of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. To this day, I don’t understand what made that pick so special. It’s not like it was acquired from another team as the last remaining asset from a trade for Erik Karlsson or Mark Stone, and we were counting down the days leading up to the draft, debating between 5-10 quality players the scouting department could’ve added at that spot.
