Luck plays such a big part when drafting individual players but the draft itself plays such a huge part as well. Some years your lucky and have a guy like Monahan fall to 6. I was always in the group that wished the Flames started the rebuild earlier but in reality were very lucky it started when it did. Those drafts before were terrible. RNH and Yakupov drafts were extremely weak. I've said it before if the Oilers had the three 1st before Hall they would have landed P. Kane. Tavares and Stamkos. The three after would have landed them Mckinnon Ekblad and McDavid. Not to get into a debate over all of this but the draft year itself plays such an important part of whether or not you land those quality pieces. Im just so glad that Monahan and Bennett were basically gifted to us because very easily we could be looking at Lindholm and Draisaitl.
