There is nothing to rebut, you're having a tantrum because for some weird reason you desperately care where Hagens gets drafted. There is no truth to hide. You are alleging a bizarre, unprecedented conspiracy. Because you have no leg to stand on for this conspiracy, you're also claimingOkay so three paragraphs calling me crazy. Didn’t try to rebut a thing I’ve said about the data. Of course discussing the truth you want hidden doesn’t suit you. You want it to seem all organic and innocent. Well guess what? Every country other than Canada now views it as an illegitimate process where their country gets shafted.
The draft is not a tournament or prize for some country, it is a means of dispersing talent that comes into the NHL. It is not rigged by a bunch of conspirators to try to get an outcome that no one gives much thought to. To believe that people would risk their jobs and reputations on a large scale, with no evidence ever having come up to suggest such a thing, all for a goal that no one even cares about, is bizarre. There are no parades or celebrations in Canada, or any country, over some prospect getting taken first overall, better yet to a scale where hundreds of people in prominent positions are conspiring to get that outcome. Players from some countries, or more likely some leagues, are very likely undervalued or overvalued. It happens. When Montreal was the smartest team in the NHL, it realized before others that NCAA players were undervalued in the 1970s. It also happens that sometimes, a country or league is going to have a strong or weak year, as is very likely the case this year.
And yes, your posts on this topic are crazy.
