You do remember that Morgan Rielly was selected right after Griffen Reinhart was drafted by the Islanders and so far Rielly is looking like the better player, where as Reinhart was eventually traded to the Oilers and has been up and down between the NHL and AHL this season.Kessel set us back 5 years.
Not that the player was bad - the deal in itself turned the team ready for a rebuild into a must win at all costs.
Then again; those draft years were tough to gauge. We may have been a team spinning our tires with this core of top end picks:
Taylor Hall
Jonathan Huberdeau
Griffen Reinhart
