Although Kadri looks like a bonafide top six forward, while the jury is still out on Sven.
Overall I think Burke's draft record shows he's at least competent, he's definitely better in other forms of player acquisition, but even though he may not succeed every year, that does not mean his entire drafting record should be called into question.

His 2011 draft is brutal, 9 picks including 2 first rounders and not one of them look anything like a good NHL player, Percy may play someday but he's even getting scratched in the A. Biggs is a total bust and the rest are meh at best.
For Burke to throw stones at Feaster is laughable. His big f'kn mouth has got me very concerned about some of Feasters picks and how he's going to "unstamp" them.
