I mean they really don't have a pattern of doing that at all the last 12-13 years.

Not saying they aren't very talented, but it does take a lot of luck.
I mean, these guys are on their radar, but it's not like they ever rate them as high as they end up producing. In 2006 and 07 they missed completely outside of Kane and Toews. In 2010 they didn't have one pick make it thus far.
Even in rounds where they took a steal like Troy Brouwer (7th round) they had 3 seventh round picks and didn't even take him first with the 3 they had!
I hope you're not seriously denying the amount of luck it takes. If you think Chicago honestly thought they were picking 2 of the top 3 players in the 2011 draft with their 4th and 8th pick (2nd and 5th round) then I can only assume you're having a laugh.
