Poile has always been good finding defencmen. Also at his Washington days.
Holland has turned our drafting nicely around letting Jim Nill and Joe McDonell walk and aquiring Tyler Wright. Phenomenal difference since day 1.
Our North American drafting/developing was abysmal under Nill's tenure. All current core is basicly HÃ¥kan Andersson's European steals from last 2 decades.
Now Wright has changed all and NA looks to be again our strong area. At least for forwards. Tough to say about defencemen yet. It takes so much time.
Nill isnt as good at drafting as some like to believe. The European scouts really are the heart and soul of this team.
Holland is doing good right now at finding up and coming scouts (that one cbj scout, Idk if hes here anymore though) and pretty much what you said.
