Right now we have 5 drafted players in the lineup. Minus the expansion teams that has to be lowest.

Sutter the GM did this as well focused on free agency and trades ignored the draft and left is in a mess.

To take the next step we need to graduate some players and in a hurry.
I think you should look at the last 4 cup winners. The majority of their players have either been signed or traded for but they do have some great draft picks that were all in the top 4 overall (except Kucherov)
