Mediocre?
From 2011 to 2016 they drafted 2 Hart trophy finalists - Tkachuk will be there this year for sure. Plus a Norris winner, plus a couple more top 4 D. 3 30 goal forwards, and Dube likely 20.
Picks are not the issue. Keeping the team together in small market long winter western Canada is. Could argue development, too. Tanking will not solve those problems.
