Monahan and Bennet - Top picks
Gaudreau: Amazing
Ferland and Granlund - 1 role player and 1 borderline NHL
If you don't think that's a massive issue with why we have some of the contracts we do I don't know what to tell you!
We need PLAYERS to fill out this roster!

You're not taking into account that the there was a major overhauling of our management since that time, and the last 3-4 years are way too soon to be drawing conclusions from.
Just because because players from outside the first round in the last few years aren't currently on the main roster doesn't mean those drafts were failures. It's very rare for 2nd round and beyond players to make the jump that quickly.
