^Keith and Seabrook were there picks and as much of a reason they are who they are as Kane and Towes.
True, I didn't go back that far. I was only contesting the notion that they never miss on picks (and yes, I realize he didn't mean "never" literally). Don't get me wrong, they definitely also made some good picks, especially in later rounds (Hjalmarsson, Brower, Buff, Wiz, etc...) but they missed on a lot of 1st and 2nd round picks at the time they were in the rebuild phase. Even when they got Keith in the 2nd round, their 1st round pick that season? Anton Babchuk.
I do agree with the rest of the post though. They stockpiled picks, made some shrewd moves and have been well run in recent years.
