(Forgive my post, my thoughts are all over the place).
I look at teams like Chicago and LA, teams who have won multiple cups in this new century. They both did it by quality drafting.
I truly think Sam Bennett is underrated and should have went 1st OA. But, that could just be me with my homer glasses on (and quite frankly, I don't care). Give it a few more years, and I think he becomes an even better center than what we thought he'd do. The reason why I talk about Sam is because he is our only top 5 pick in franchise history, and I don't see us getting another this year.
I want our team built by depth, the ability to roll out 4 lines. I think we are just one RW and one top end defensive prospect away from becoming a great team for years to come. Could honestly care less if we don't get McDavid.
