Edmonton's drafting mess seems to be a staple of the prior management. Chiarelli's done a good job (results withstanding) and his ability to add guys like Caggiula, Benning via the college FA market is pretty invaluable.

Before we deem these guys as good picks we should probably see them play in the league. Puljujarvi seems like a can't miss but he struggled this year with the NHL game coming from Europe and by the way he was a top 5 pick. Jury is still out on Caggiula. He has been in the league for 1 season. I also would lump in RNH with Mcdavid or Drasaitl.
Like I said before there drafting has been horrible and the jury is still out on Chiarelli's draft picks.
