Spotty 2 Hotty
Special teams, special plays, special players
I'm only going based on the first round because the later rounds are usually a crap-shoot, with the first round being the one that should have better results. The worst lately was probably 2015 where not only was there one great player, but a few others that were shortly after.
2015 - Stars pick Denis Gurianov 12th Overall - Jake DeBrusk goes 14th, Mathew Barzal goes 16th, Kyle Connor goes 17th, and Brock Boeser goes 23rd
And though I think Honka has promise, he's never going to have a chance in Dallas and he certainly is not as good as these guys who went right after him.
2014 - Stars pick Julius Honka 14th Overall - Dylan Larkin goes 15th and David Pastrnak goes 25th.
I didn't feel like going further back, but given how terrible Dallas has been at drafting, it wouldn't surprise me if there were some others.
