2012 - jets draft Trouba at 9, we get Janko 21 and a 2nd round pick of sfa for trading down
2013 - we get mony at 6, jets get morrisey at 13
2014 - we get bennett at 4, jets get ehlers at 8
Over this 4 year period, jets drafted a 1c, 2 top 4 d and top 6 f. We did not. Hope the jets scouts got a good bonus for their work.

Hellebuyck at 130 helped a lot, too. (of course we got Johnny late).
WPG has also been shrewd to not waste high picks on goalies...only a 59OA on Eric Comrie in 2013.
In the same timeframe we've spent a 34, 54, 75, but our best results were Brossoit at 164 and hopefully Wolf at 214!
