Every other team passed on Makarov too , even with their second picks. The reason was because he stated he wasn't returning to North America. This is confirmed by Flynn. Hindsight is 20/20. I'm sure if he was picked and didn't report that you(Billy) would have been the first person to criticize Flynn.
"Why the hell would they draft a player that wouldn't report ? "
" Way to blow a pick"
" Mismanagement at it's finest"
" Should have done their homework"
" First Voynov , then Kabanov , now Makarov , when are they going to learn"
etc , etc , etc ....
I think the dispersal draft was awesome. A lot of people questioned the Lalonde pick with a lot of good players still on the board but it's paying off now. Lalonde should flirt with 50 goals next season , one of the top goal scorers in the league , while other teams don't even have their players anymore.

They drafted Zarifis who was a nobody at the time and is still now. Could have taken a chance on Makarov and had 3-4 weeks to convince him before having to make a call before the Euro draft in late June.
