Flahr & Co has been better than under the DR era. Flahr just hasnt had any 2nd or 3rd rounders to work with, which is really what fills up a prospect pool.
They had a 1st and three 2nds in his first draft (2010): 3 players, one bust (injuries, mostly).
They had two 1sts and a 2nd in 2011: 1 player, two busts (bad picks).
They had a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in 2012: 1 player, two busts (bad picks).
They had no 1st, a 2nd, and a 3rd in 2013: two prospects, one of whom is likely to bust (Gabriel) one somewhat likely to bust (Olofsson).
They had a 1st, no 2nd, and a 3rd in 2014: one player, one prospect.
They had a 1st, a 2nd, no 3rd in 2015: one player, one prospect, plus Kaprizov, so great haul.
They had a 1st, no 2nd, no 3rd in 2016: one legit prospect in Kunin, one possible home run (Sokolov).
They had no 1st, no 2nd in 2017: two prospects (Lodnia and Shaw). Salvageable.
They had no 2nd but a 1st and three 3rds in 2018. But I think they made several good bets. Time will tell but they have only missed once on a 1st rounder and I would bet 10,000 cryptobucks that Flahr did not have final say on Phillips or Lucia.
Lapointe is still today Chief of Amateur Scouting, and no one knows what he does (but he's a funny guy, from all accounts).
And all this is just to highlight: prospects take time, everyone misses sometimes, and other guys might still make it I didn't list. Wild are better off than many teams with their front office and hockey ops staff.
