and on and on...he traded FOR more than he traded away...

Any GM with any bit of tenure brought in more first rounders from outside the org than they drafted. It's roughly 4% against 96%.

That’s a pretty sad list.

Every Blackhawks 1st round pick between 2007 (Patrick Kane) and 2020 (Lukas Reichel) is now gone.

There’s tons of turnover in the league. I’m not gonna look too deeply into this.

Fair point

That’s a pretty sad list.

So would most teams 1st round draft selections from 2007 to 2022 if I had to guess

With Bowman and Kelley at the helm, not surprised with the stat whatsoever.

I had high hopes for him. Though undersized in junior his offensive instincts and timing were off the charts. A lot of fun watching him play. but he never seemed to take the next step in his development so yes another wasted high pick
