I know only a fraction of these guys may turn into anything but coupled with what we get in subsequent drafts it is decent building block.

Much like happened with Chicago you need to hope these guys turn into good second and third line guys much like what happened with Versteeg, Bolland, Byfuglien, etc.
You cannot expect these guys (except for maybe Baertschi/Janko) to become your first line core (Toews/Kane) . We need to pick up those two stars in our next two drafts (Mackinnon/Reinhart), hope that these guys develop into secondary impact guys, and then add a couple key UFAs.
