I believe a lot of the perceived success from the Wings scouting department is due to having a couple standout scouts over in Europe. Also important, which this articles does not account for is quality v quantity. Some late gems can make up for a lot of misses.
I wonder too how many successful draft picks are still with their original team, or at the least, were used as part of effective asset management in trades. Prob explains why some good drafting teams have not seen that success translate to success in the standings.
