The absence of 2nd round picks was a problem, but the they also busted a really high number of 1sts:
From 2004 to 2008 they had 5 1sts and out of that got Michael Backlund.
Nemisz, Chucko, Irving, and Pelech all busted and they didn't even get anything in terms of trade from those 4.
That's god-awful.
