Monster franchises find guys in the mid to late rounds to supplement good choices in the first two rounds.
I don't think you can build one of those decade long runs with just hitting on the first round.
Getting the Monahan pick right is huge, and a big change for the organization.
Bennett looks to be another gem which sets them up for the future.
But you can't over look Wotherspoon and Granlund as 2nd round picks, Gaudreau and Brodie as 4th round picks, and the free agent signing of Giordano.
That's why this rebuild is going faster than expected.
Hopefully Hickey is another.
