He had an assist.
Ben Hutton.
No, incorrect.
Not a good draft pick.
This is an important thing to remember, too.
The key is not to draft Ben Hutton and then develop him for another team, right?
The key of a successful draft pick is that they develop and become impact players for you before they hit waiver age.
Otherwise, you're developing another team's guy, and that's going to happen.
Right, and the point is that the Canucks didn't get value out of Ben Hutton, right?
They didn't get value out of Jalen Chatfield.
Those aren't good scouting wins, even though they obviously are, because those guys went on to have good careers.
You also have to benefit from them yourself.
All right, sorry.
Right.
