Just basing it on this:http://www.nhltradetracker.com/user/...Fletcher/236/1

In addition to some pretty great trades over the course of a decade or so acquired the following players by draft (or college signings- ahead of his time in that regard)and none of these taken with top 5 picks
Macinnis, Nieuwendyk, Hull, makarov, Vernon, Roberts, Suter, Fleury, Reinhart, Loob, Otto, Macoun, Hrdina, Quinn, Bradley, Peplinski, Hunter, Ranheim, Berezan etc etc
