Well, that was exactly the case for Nathan MacKinnon, who really wasn’t a fan of Cale Makar’s selection at No. 4ᵉ in the 2017 draft.
Throwing it back to when MacKinnon was NOT happy the Avs drafted Cale Makar

MacKinnon explains in this clip that when he saw that the Colorado Avalanche had just selected a player from the AJHL, the Alberta Junior Hockey League, he wasn’t happy.
For MacKinnon, even if Makar looked okay according to his stats and the videos of him, it didn’t change the fact that for him, AJHL players are horrible.
“He plays in the AJHL […] Those guys are horrible.” – Nathan MacKinnon
In short, MacKinnon wasn’t really convinced of this selection, even angry at the time.
Well, three trophies later – a Calder, a Stanley Cup and a Norris – Cale Makar is currently the best defenseman in the entire NHL, much to the delight of Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche.
It’s not every day you add a defenseman to your team who scores more than a point a game and more than 20 goals a season.
