It was very interesting to me to listen to Duncan Keith's presser yesterday where he singled out Zack Kassian as a physical force, and therefore a player he respects. Yet, fans consider him to be trash. Experienced GMs, coaches a ND players have a different (better) understanding of fans of a players impact.
So it is curious to me that a 5th rounder, who has maybe a 2% chance of becoming a NHL player, and a 3rd round pick, which is around 3 or 4% has more value in your eyes than a player who was just singled out by a future Hall of Famer who has played against him about 30 times in his career.
What do you know that he doesn't and why do you think the Pro Scouts and GM think any different?
