There is definitely better drafting right now. Prior to Johnny and Brodie how many hits outside of round 1 were there with the team since Theo Fleury.
They are loading a tonne of prospect bullets into the chamber right now with these later round higher risk picks. Guys with upside but obvious flaws (too small, too fat, cant play defense etc).
I think you have more of an issue with Development, not drafting. I think there is improvement there as well. There are a lot of later round picks that seem to be improving year over year at a higher rate than their peers.

If you go from Gaudreau draft - you've got Granlund, Ferland, Bourma, Brodie (as you mentioned), Aulie just missed, Prust, Dustin Boyd, Adam Pardy. OBviously more as you go back further - David Moss, Lombardi, McElhinney
