Yes, that's history.6 years does not mean we should be a cup contender. We can easily be a top 10 team next year and we are still not a cup contender. So no, we should no know by now. Evaluating a GM based on no cup in 6 years is not smart IMO. With me, I have my eye on our prospect pool and the next draft where we will have 5 more top 100 picks and maybe if we are lucky, a lottery pick win.
Last time we picked 1st overall was in 1980. Here is a list of our top 10 picks since 1980
1980: Wickeneiser (1st)
1979: Hunter (7th)
1984: Svoboda (5th)
1995: Ryan (8th)
2001: Komisarek (7th)
2003: Kostitsyn (10th)
2005: Price (5th)
2012: Galchenyuk (3rd)
2016: Sergachev (9th)
9 top 10 picks in 38 years of drafting (our average 1st round pick was 17 I believe). This team is not going anywhere until we acquire more top 10 picks in a smaller span of years.
What is the plan?
Where is this team headed?
