If you have higher pick volume and draft well then I have one word for you : watch out

For sure. But they need more than NHLers, they need top level talent.
You look at all the first round picks since Tkachuk, which was a layup pick.
Valimaki, Pelletier, Zary, Coronato, Honzek. All mid to late first round picks. To build a contender, probably need to do better than that with the picks outside the top 10. I could maybe say the same of the four 2nd round picks. in that timeframe.
It's still way early to pass any final judgment. But last four years of picks only placed two players on this list.
