We all (I'm guilty) should realize that good GM's and scouts know more than us. Holland is not a good drafting GM. Zadina fell for a reason. He was ranked 3rd, each player 3-5 taken has been better, these teams knew not to take him as he fell. Holland just thought he was getting a gift handed to him, knowing damn well the team needed a D at that spot.
Players fall for a reason. Patrick, Wright and even Seth Jones to a certain extent for example. In their draft year they were all talked about being the concensus choice at #1.
Holland just isn't that smart. His drafting, trades, and UFA signings set this team back a decade.
