Just about every player we've taken in the last two drafts has a had a pretty decent progression in their development since being drafted.
This includes Reinhart, Leach, Ramage, Arnold, Ferland, Holland, Erixon, Howse, Bennett, Ortio and Patterson.
Does that mean they will all become NHL stars (or even NHL players)? Certainly not.
But it's a very promising sign that our drafting may be turning around.
Even the 2008 draft, with Nemisz, Bouma, Wahl and Brodie is looking like it might produce a couple of NHLers.
