Just because they took mostly WHL players does not mean they focused entirely on the WHL to the detriment of other leagues. Switch the draft order up and we might have ended up with mostly OHLers. I'm not sure why you assume they favour bloodlines either, perhaps they just happened to like those kids quite a bit? I don't think they went into the draft trying to accumulate sons of former NHLers.
You can't read as much into scouting trends as you are trying to.
