It's the Athletic so Paywall
From worst to first, ranking how each NHL team performs at...
1. Ducks
2. Jets
3. Lightning
4. Canes
5. Panthers
30. Coyotes
Why is Laine not in that graphic?
I guess I will never find out thenYou have to pay to find out.

How much of that 30th place finish is on Chayka?
None....it uses only data fron the 2011-2015 drafts. Chaya was not hired until 2016.
So we'd have to be number 1 then when factoring in Laine, right?Don't think I'm compromising the payroll to note that the article focuses on 2011-15.
Interesting that Jack Roslovic is not in that list.
Perhaps he wasn't in the Jets' lineup (i.e. on the Moose) when that list was made?

What the Jets do better than anyone else is pick in the first round.
I think only Stanley isn't tracking to be a standout NHL player, and even then, IIRC he's taken huge strides in the past year.
He had a strong start to the year, which had some thinking he made huge strides. He's slowed down some since (though that doesn't mean he didn't make those strides)

Here's @cudmorecolin's Scouting Staff Sizes - Anaheim does it on a shoestring. Jets are 7th in league. When the plan is "Draft & Develop" I guess it makes sense to have a big scouting staff.
I believe the Thrashers had 12 scouts when TNSE purchased the franchise (those 12 still managed to draft Scheifele and Lowry though). I'm not sure what other teams had in terms scouting staffs at that time. 12 was considered pretty small, IIRC. Would be tied with Anaheim for 2nd last on this chart.
I wonder if the Thrashers would have drafted Scheifele if they had not moved.

I don't know if they would've taken him - there seemed to be pressure from Atlanta ownership to take the most NHL-ready player available with the idea of slotting him right in...to sell tickets (and turn the team around more quickly). At least that's kinda the vibe I get from the Thrashers last few drafts before relocation. So that would probably have been Couturier. Then again, Chipman said the scout who was pushing hard for Scheifele had pushed for Skinner the year before (but Carolina snapped him up one spot before Atlanta got the chance).They would have rushed him into the league and ruined him.
Lots of nice pieces there, but other than Lindholm none really have driven the franchise forward like Getzlaf and Perry. Those are the two picks that turned the franchise into a perennial contender.We all know our success, but how about that of the Ducks? Hard to argue with the Ducks being at 1; They have been nothing short of incredible at the draft table.
2011: Rakell (30), Gibson (39), Karlsson (53), Manson (160)
2012: Lindholm (6), Andersen (87)
2013: Theodore (26)
2014: Ritchie (10), Pettersson (38), Montour (55), Kase (205 - WTF?!)
2015: Larsson (27), Terry (148)
That's a bunch of key/core pieces selected with fairly late picks. After 2015, they have picked Jones (24), Steel (30) and Mahura (85) in 2016, as well as the haul in 2017, which included quality prospects like Comtois (50), Morand (60) and Badini (91). A record like theirs makes me envious, until I look at our record and realise that our scouting is more than fine too.
