I know it’s hindsight, but plenty of people were clamoring for Hutson in 22 and Stankoven in 21.

Production models aren’t everything but according to Bader’s model here is the current likelihood for each player becoming a star and an NHL player:

Ronni: 1%, 13%
Stromgren: 1%, 24%
Hutson: 74%, 81%
Stankoven: 38%, 89%

Really wish this mgmt team would stop prioritizing size. You can buy and trade for size.
They 100% need to be prioritizing elite skillsets over higher floors (bottom 6 expected).

Not taking those two was a huge miss.

Hopefully this is corrected under new management. They sure seemed to nail their top 3 picks this past draft.
