First of all, it takes more than one year to get to the bottom. Second, other than a brief stint of historical ineptitude, triggered by the Oilers, the first overall pick is a good player pretty much every year. Here are the last 20 years:
2003: Fleury..... 2013:MacKinnon
2004: Ovechkin 2014: Ekblad
2005: Crosby... 2015: McDavid
2006: Staal..... 2016: Matthews
2007: Kane..... 2017: Hischier
2008: Stamkos 2018: Dahlin
2009: Tavares.. 2019: Hughes
2010: Hall....... 2020: Lafreniere
2011: RNH...... 2021: Power
2012: Yakupov. 2022: Slatkovsky
Every year, the draft gets deeper and deeper. And every year, the scouts, collectively, get better at sorting out talent.

It truly is the most Enoch Root thing ever to take a throwaway one liner and critique it with a breakdown of twenty years of the NHL draft.
