Also, it's amazing how good you look when you have the foundation he had.
1st Overall - Victor Hedman
1st Overall - Steven Stamklos
19th Overall - Vezina/Elite goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy
When hit on those 3, and then manage to draft well in the later rounds (Point, Kucherov), yeah...you're gonna win.
The difference between drafting 1st and 6th is stunning for what it can do for your organization.
