None of the college free agents have become anything. Here or elsewhere.

Every single goalie drafted by this team has been a debacle at the NHL level. For over two decades. The only guy who managed to escape the cursed touch of being drafted by this organization as a netminder is Craig Anderson.

Yeah. New scouting department. Add that to the list.

Andersson at #53 is a great pick. 2nd round picks are far from a slam dunk.
Dube also is looking like a good pick.
Kulak at 105 is good

And they've drafted guys late who are trending well above their draft position: Pettersen, Zavgorodniy, Tuulola, Wolf.

yes every team has prospects like that, but there's some good early signs there.

Under the current regime I think drafting has been way better.
