Later picks? I would consider only two of those players "later picks". Anything in the top half of the draft is not a late pick. Also, if the amateur scouts are so good shouldn't we see more success than that listed? Shouldn't we also see more players signing pro contracts and sticking around to develop in the minors and into NHL players? You would think that a team that was so strong at the draft would not see so many players go unsigned and not enter the system that is already so thin.
