Now you bring other picks into the mix, muddling the argument.I've never complained about Seider or Hronek as Hakan Andersson has a very strong track record. Gabe Vilardi is starting to come on for the Kings. He's currently 0.5 PPG over a very small sample size. Our NA scouting was terrible. Yzerman obviously wasn't impressed, it's the simplest explanation for why he revamped that entire unit as soon as he was hired.
Seriously with some lottery luck we could have:
Byfield
Larkin
Vilardi
Veleno
Hughes - Seider
Chychrun - Hronek
That's how you rebuild quickly. This is going to take longer since we did so poorly with our best draft picks over the past few years. I'm glad we addressed our biggeset organizational weakness.
Overall though what you’re saying can always be said, no team gets a 100% optimal return on like 6-7 drafts in a row.
With some lottery luck we could have:
Byfield+Zadina
Larkin
Rasmussen
Veleno
Seider-Hronek
McIsaac-Lindstrom/Cholowski/Johansson/etc
I just don’t see the massive difference in quality.
