It just seems ro me that the wings have been reaching a bit on players taken in the first four rounds
Thats not to mean had they taken player X that it would be assured that the pkayer would make it, i just dont think our current scouting dept is good enough to trust over the opinions of others.
I dnt know perhaps i am way iff base here but if I were in charge i would be playing KISS the next few drafts during the first three or four rounds
Simple does not mean low skilled
The only (slight) reaches the Wings have made the last few years in the early rounds were on Cholowski and Lindstrom, who were both late risers that finished their draft season very strong.
Everyone else has gone right about where they were ranked on most draft lists. I have more of an issue with the types of players they are picking, as opposed to them taking guys that deviate from the rankings.
Tyler Wright does not draft small forwards with plus puck skills. He has done it maybe 1x in his entire career as a Director of Amateur Scouting (Oliver Bjorkstrand).
