It's very possible that the reason Fox fell to the 3rd round was uncertainty about being able to sign him. Is Fox a successful draft pick? No, because the Flames were unable to sign him.

Treliving really hasn't missed on a first or second rounder yet (if 2014 doesn't count). Which, I suppose, makes not having those picks in 2018 sting a bit more.
Jury's also still out on Valimaki, Kylington, Parsons, Pelletier, Kuznetsov. None of those guys have established them as regular top four defensemen, or top two goalies. It's possible Dube never takes the expected step forward to be a regular, contributing middle sixer either.
