Phillips - 1.44 ppg - 22 - 6th round
Pettersen - 1.00 ppg - 20 - 6th round
Pospisil - 1.00 ppg - 21 - 4th round
That's really impressive, hopefully they can keep that going.
Still waiting for 7th rounder little Z to get going though.

Far too many seems a little overstated. Treliving has traded 2 first round picks (Hamilton and Hamonic) and 6 seconds. But he also acquired 5 seconds over his term. So it's 2 firsts and a second in total, and I'd argue the Hamilton trade was fair value.
If you're including thirds, he traded one for Smith and one for Gustaffson, but he just pocketed a couple at the last draft by moving down to get Zary, and he picked up one for Neal (hah).
