Going more in depth on my answers:
2003
No 1st because of the Blake trade Kings took Brian Boyle, but no regrets
2/63 D Dave Liffiton: A few games in the NHL looks to be fringe player
4/131 W David Svagrovsky: Unimpressive minor leaguer split time between AHL and CHL/ECHL headed back to Europe
5/146 F Mark McCutcheon: Lackluster career at Cornell blossomed a bit his last two seasons, but unsigned
5/163 C Brad Richardson: Nice late round gem, has top 6 upside and is useful on the bottom 6, already a full time NHLer
7/204 R Linus Videll: big and raw, never performed much until last season, but unsigned and rights are lost
7/225 F Brett Hemingway: spent four years at New Hampshire signed an ATO with Albany, might get an offer to play for the Cleveland Steamers next year.
8/257 L Darryl Yacboski: played 5 years in the WHL and has since fell off the face of the earth
9/288 R David Jones: Pretty good find. Had an ankle injury heading into draft year. Avs took a flyer on him and he turned in 3 good years at Dartmouth, signed this off season, decent shot at the NHL and a favorite on the Avs board
Overall: C+
2004
1/21 L Wojtek Wolski: After his draft year there were periodic lamentations we didn't take Schremf, followed by winning OHL player of the month four strait times and OHL MVP, made a splash in 1st round last year vs Dallas, 4th in rookie scoring this year, still needs some consistency
2/55 R Victor Oreskovich: Lackluster stay at Notre Dame, headed to OHL and performed better albeit suspended for a awhile, didn't get signed and is now an FA
3/72 L Denis Parshin: Wildcard then as now, demonstrates enormous skill but still has same question marks, lack of transfer agreement hanging over our heads
5/154 D Richard Demen-Willaume: played a handful of games in the CHL and went back to Europe
6/184 D Derek Peltier: average college player heading into senior year, probably won't garner a contract
7/215 G Ian Keserich: rode the bench at Ohio State, went back down to the USHL this year is either transferring or heading to Europe
8/239 R Brandon Yip: old sophomore at BU, still has some checking up side
9/249 L J.D. Corbin: Had some bad luck with injuries at Denver, longshot as an energy forward
9/ 281 D Stephen McClellan: Didn't finish freshman year at Northeastern, might be heading to D3
Overall grade: B, could raise or drop depending on Parshin and Yip, Wolski was a good pick
2005
Traded out of first round for #47 and #52 Washington took Joe Finely, no regrets
2/34 C Ryan Stoa: gangly project, headed for junior year at Minnesota, improved this year, should get a contract after next season
2/44 C Paul Stastny: Home run, fan favorite, legacy, surpassed expectations, Calder Runner up
2/47 L Tom Fritsche: looking good, might have been signed this off season if not for set back with stomach ailment, rebounded nicely at Ohio State
2/52 C Chris Durand: Not offered contract, dud in WHL until playoffs which wasn't enough for Avs, at the time hyped as 1st round talent
3/88 C T.J. Hensick: Contended for the Hobey this year, signed by the Avs, could have an NHL future
4/124 D Raymond Macias: Some injury trouble, but signed and has some upside as a PP specialist and can play some wing
6/166 D Jason Lynch: Avs walked away from his rights before the 1st year was out, total miss
6/168 C Justin Mercier: Headed into 2nd year at Miami, nice forward prospect
7/222 D Kyle Cumiskey: spent last year in the AHL, had a cup of coffee with Avs this year and recorded his first goal a stunning success for a 7th rounder
Overall grade: on early returns A- two busts, one fantastic pick, a late round gem and little reason to be discouraged by any of the other five picks.
