His drafting record always took a lot more heat than it deserved.
I strongly disagree. I think it took just the right amount of heat.
Draft To-Do List:
- Defense
- MOAR DEFENSE
- Small Dudes Going To College
- Defense
- Check on what Omaha is up to
- Make plans to not use drafted defense
He had 8 drafts to get a top six forwards for Crosby and Malkin and was successful 0 times, including one 2nd overall pick in 2006 (yeah, I went there). 2012 may be his only decent year and I'm assuming he bonked his head before drafting two Europeans (although one is fairly light and went to college, so he's probably OK with that in retrospect.). Rust and SQ look decent, but absolutely nothing to write home about. His best pick between Staal and Maatta was easily Jake Muzzin, and that's hilarious for several reason. So yeah, I think he gets very rightly criticized for being terrible.
