Having Tom Wilson riding shotgun with Monahan and Gaudreau through their formative years at the NHL level would have been unreal. Or having a goalie like Vasilevskiy this whole time opposed to the carousel the past 8 years would have been a game changer too.

That's some hindsight drafting...like I said most of the GMs that year are the same or worse in round one.
Sure you can look back and say so and so would be better. Can do that every draft. The entire league wishes they drafted Vasilevskiy
