This is a really interesting question to me. Obviously Poile and our scouts are incredible, so we have lots of great choices.
You could argue that taking Weber, a superstar, in the 2nd round was in steal, and since he is the best player we've ever had, its the best pick.
You could argue Horny or Rinne becuase they were picked so late, but at the same time, they havent been playing at that level long enough for me to put them above Weber. Maybe in a few years.
There's always Erat, one of our most consistent forwards, picked incredibly late. I think he's often overlooked, but was an incredible pick.
One people seem to forget is Tootoo. While his on-ice production has been marginal at best, he brings in some serious $s in marketing. It was a great pick for publicity's sake, and has really been a value for us.
In the end, after much consideration, my vote goes to Erat. He has been a solid, consistent player for us for many many years.
