I'd be curious to see what percerage if 1st round players actually play a game in the NHL and also one for played but less than say 20 games. I think the number would shock moat people here who think a 1st round player is a slam dunk NHLer.

Bottom line is Fischer HAD a boat load of potential which is what scouts are looking for when looking at 17 year olds as there's nothing else to judge them on. To blast a scout if the player doesn't pan out is a little silly to me as it's basically a higher percentage crap shoot. If it happened ALL with all the picks then i'd be concerned. This is not the case with Timmins. Maybe with the scouts on the ground but theyve mostly been replaced so we'll see if we can improve an already good scouting program.

It still would have been cool to have a Fischer-Price on our team though

I'll settle for a great Price!
