I think it's hard to compare our scouting results with results long years past, like when we picked up Suter or Fleury. I think you saw later round picks turning into great players that more often in years gone by because the scouting of the whole league was worse. It's much more of s science now and there is much more consensus now, so you're going to find the whole league is going to have lower results with later picks.
I do like your comparison to the rest of the NW teams though and it does seem to prove that this is an area in which we could improve.
