freaking missed pretty much every first round pick for a long time. I mean we did get

Dion (not even sure how to classify him now, but I do know we are one of 3 teams

without our first round from that exceptional draft class). We also have Backlund

whom I like but really hasn't knock my socks off. So I went back and looked at some of

our first rounders.. some one needs to be beaten for some of those picks.

Is it the drafting, or is it player development I wonder? Or maybe a bit of both.
