So really it is no surprise that we haven't developed many considering after the first round finding an NHLer drops significantly. I think the current hockey management team that has taken a pretty big step to remedy the situation by using a bunch of the picks on Dmen.

This is true ...
Sutter had one top ten, one late first, and one 2nd round defenseman taken in 8 years
Feaster no first rounders at all, 2 second rounder in three years
Treliving one late first rounder, and 2 second rounders in 4 years.
