The Wings and the Canucks have had some abysmal lottery luck. But the Wings draft (mostly) at least recently.
Raymond is better than both Byfield and Lafreniere at this point. Seider could go top-3 in a redraft. But prior to that, Zadina and Veleno (who's having a good year so far) and Rasmussen and Cholowski and Svechnikov have been underwhelming.
