Feaster didn't have the training to scout and evaluate players so from what I understand, he left the 2011 draft to Button (Baertschi, Granlund, Wotherspoon, Gaudreau, Brossoit). After that draft Weisbrod was hired and took charge of the 2012 draft (Jankowski, Sieloff, Gillies). I remember Burke complementing the 2013 draft (Monahan, Poirier, Klimchuk), so by process of elimination Burke was referring to the 2012 draft. Gillies, Kulak and Culkin do look decent as mid round picks though Jankowski and Sieloff still look like gambles to me.
