Well, Boyd is 8th in ice time per game. So, yea he has. In terms of "only" draft one impact player, well yeah, that's true. Teams drafting where we have drafted rarely pick up more then one impact player however. Shouldn't be too surprising.
2003 Draft - Phaneuf
2004 Draft - Boyd, Prust, Pardy
Again, early returns look good. I (and many others) typically say you can only begin to judge a draft after 5 years, and that continues to hold true.
Half of our current blueline was drafted/developed by Sutter. That's pretty huge all things considered.
