Looking back maybe the hyped player isn't always the best fit

Last year when the Islanders dropped down to the 9th overall pick, skipped over Nikita Filatov, and picked relatively unknown Josh Bailey fans were up in arms and stormed out of the Islanders Draft party. A year later it looks like the Islanders made the right decision to pass up on the Russian born Filatov. Filatov was thought to be by most fans as the new franchise player (oh little did we know) and when Snow passed up may of them questioned Snows GM skills. Now that we look back at this season, Nikita Filatov was seldom ever mentioned this year and only played in 6 games in Columbus. Playing in 4 games in October and 4 in January. Scored only 4 goals, put up only 4 points, had no assists and was only +/- 3. Although Bailey was a -14 (not that I really understand the +/- system) Bailey had nearly twice the goals, 18 times the assists, and 5 times the points (25) it is my unwavering opinion that the Islanders made the right choice to draft Bailey. Although he started rough Bailey has mixed well into the Islanders system. To say Filatov was a bust would be unfair but should the Isles have drafted him they would have missed out on an exceptional player who has a promising future in the NHL and as Islander. So coming back to this years if Snow doesn’t draft Tavares there is a reason. The past has shown that Snow and his team know what their doing and have the ability to see past all the hype and find a talented young player.
