Every scouting group in the NHL will draft enough good players to put together a team that can compete in the NHL. I can look at any team in the NHL and see good pieces that were drafted. I can't say that since 2001 its been above league average though. They arent Oilers bad but the fact we haven't been able to draft up enough pieces to fill the gaps to have more than two deepish playoff runs in the last 20 years it makes me wonder. Goalies especially the Flames have had to trade for their number 1 for years, followed by centers we have never had a superstar since Button has been here as far as I know.
