And that top six gives me the willies. Stmkos is the right pick, but the team
Is that really what he is saying? I get the feeling he's making a point what would be if Stamkos clearly was the best player. I don't agree that he's saying Stamkos is. But then again I didn't hear him actually say it, I'm just reading your transcript.

I leave tomorrow, I start in Boston and I go through Ontario. This is still a work in progress on how good these kids are. Here’s what happens. Lets just say you’ve got Stamkos who is clearly the best player available, lets just say that’s the case. The line is parted, there’s no question. You probably take the best asset even though we’ve got those holes, right?
But if that line starts getting a little blurry, lets say, hypothetically, that Doughty’s pretty good and the line gets blurred now. That’s how you mark that position. Then I go back to the other things. Part of the value of the player is how much he contributes to winning. It’s not only how good he is but which player has the biggest impact on winning and losing if they’re in the same group.
This is the analysis you have to go through. If that gets blurred, now I gotta say “you see what Niedermeyer and Pronger do”. That’s a classic example of defenseman. Then, you look at our holes and you go “Ooh, that’s not pretty” and you have to make a decision. That’s the thought process and that’ll have to play out. It’s not easy.
He isn't committing to Stamkos one way or the other. Who is to say that Stamkos is clearly the overall best player in this draft without a doubt. All of the sheep on this site seem to think he is the best player without a doubt because someone else said so.
And you told Garrioche who told Brian McCabe who mentioned something to his sister who my best buddy hooked up with last night and he told me to tell CBGB.
