gotta tip your hat to them... of course, they aren't infallible - they could have drafted Barzal, Connor and Boeser in 2015... would be an unbelievable haul if they managed that!
that's why i am not a fan of trading picks... hamiliton i get but Hamonic seemed like an overpayment at the time and he hasn't changed my mind about that on the ice.

Yeah, but Kessel was their pick.
They flipped him for the other two and were able to draft Seguin and Dougie early in the draft while simultaneously being a cup contender and winner.
