I think you won the Petrenko battle hands down. The fact the he played more than 50 games is a blight on the club not your judgement.I was wrong when I said that Pets wouldn't get to 50 games. However, the deficiencies which I spotted early (the reason why I said he wouldn't get to 50) eventually became evident to everyone and were the reason why he's no longer on our list. The fact is that the only reason he played as many games as he did is because our recruiters failed year after year to draft a half-decent replacement. Pets was out the door within 12 months of Betts & Cameron arriving.
I've never based my judgements on where players were drafted. In most cases I wait until I've seen them for myself, particularly for young kids in their 1st, 2nd or 3rd year on the list. If they haven't made it into the team by their 4th year, then I start to draw conclusions even if I haven't seen them first hand.
Anyone using the Petrenko scenario to discredit you is not doing their own credibility much service.
