However, this is simply not a good way to look at it. In nearly every case, teams have only two picks with notable time. A couple have more. The four above basically have none. So 10-15 goal per season player drafted four years ago heavily skews this chart even though a kid drafted in 2017 will eventually become a 30 goal scorer. We're just not far enough out to have any real idea of these drafts, beyond perhaps 2014.
Which is why we need to go back farther to look at how the cream of the crop got to the top today. But that also puts us outside the start of our rebuild.
