That's a tough comparison to make though as Sutter's picks were lower due to the team being better than Feaster. Feaster has picked 13th, 21st, 6th, 22nd, and 28th in the first round so far. Sutter picked 9, 24,26,24,25 and 23). On one pick was top 10, the rest 23 or lower. Interestingly, his bets 2 picks (outside Phaneuf) were both Swedish (Backlund and Erixon)
It would be interesting to rank the two GM's by comparing their draft pick success rate to the weighted success rate the average team would have with those same picks.
Detroit for example. is perceived to have good drafting not because they have an above average success rate, but that that they continue to draft and develop quality players despite being a playoff team year after year.
