Except it was forshadowed. In season four, they were forshadowing Laurel's promise by having Laurel talk to Oliver in private before she died. Season five had a flashback of Oliver vowing to keep the promise of training another Black Canary. Oliver was reminded of it in Who Are You? and decided to find one. What followed was not an asspull, but a rushed plotline since they immediately found the right Black Canary. They foreshadowed Oliver trying to find a replacement, they didn't foreshadow a knockoff Canary who had the same name and powers with no explanation just happening to be running around.
