Good teams have young players playing these days it seems.
And why is Fox considered a good pick? I thought it was pretty well known at the time he had no intention of signing here.

Whoa whoa . You mean the point of drafting is to develop quality NHlers
How many 20 goals scorers has this team drafted in the last 5 years ? Not stars . 20 goal scorers
How many starting goalies has this team drafted in the past decade ?
Our farm system is ranked around 20th, and while we have promoted some nice quality pieces recently , we don’t ever hit on goalies - causing us to waste tons of picks and then have to pay for a elite FA, and we can’t develop forwards to save our lifes
We can’t even fill out a 4th line and 3rd D pairings with cheap energetic youth. Instead we keep trading picks (part of the problem) and signing players to fill out these spots
Just another one of this teams many problems
Anyone who thinking we are anywhere except bottom 1/3 in drafting is delusional
