We'll see if Galchenyuk, Scherbak, and Juulsen are just name soup. I doubt they will be. I also think Mete will be good.
If you look at my previous post, Carolina has not been as good with lottery picks as Timmins has been:
Since 2008, 8 of Carolina's 9 1st round picks have been lottery picks. I would hope their draft record is better! With 5 lottery picks in his entire tenure, Timmins has gotten us Price, Galchenyuk, McDonagh, and Sergachev (A. Kostitsyn being his only bust). Carolina Already have 3 busts in Ryan Murphy, Zach Boychuck, and Hayden Fleury and there may be more to come. And the one time they had a 1st that wasn't a lottery pick in 2008, they took a guy named
Philippe Paradis. Ever heard of him?
I'll have to do an analysis of non-first round picks another time.
