Yzerman earned a lot of leeway and respect with his Seider, Raymond, Edvinsson, Söderblom picks. Kasper remains to be seen, but he looks good so far. These '23 picks look off, but due to Yzerman' s track record, I'll reserve my judgement. But yeah this good reputation can disappear real quick if he starts missing these picks. It's one thing to draft concensus scout/media favorites and have them bust (Lafreniere, Nolan Patrick..), than go rogue off the board reach and fail.
Edit: And I do realize there's more people than just Yzerman involved in their drafting decisions.
