I appreciate the effort on this and I agree with the basic conclusions. Even the "sure thing" first rounders are far from sure things.
Drafting 18 year olds is really difficult and requires a good dose of luck. While at some stages of a team's development, "more bullets in the chamber" is a prudent strategy, it doesn't guarantee success by any means. It is not a good strategy in my opinion where there is already talent in the 23-28 year old range on the team.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
