The point wasn't that the Rebels would have been better off with a different player, McNeil, Rattie or otherwise...the point is that the inept Rebels scouting staff was going to overlook the best 1993 player in the world.
As a Rebels fan, that should really concern you....at least if you want to see quality WHL hockey in Red Deer again.
Remember...it was the previous scouting staff that picked the players on the Mem Cup team.
