2012: 4th round pick Paquette full-time in NHL 3 seasons later.
2014: Point in the NHL 3 seasons later
2015: Cirelli in the NHL 3 seasons later
4th rounder Mathieu Joseph 4 seasons later
Meanwhile with Detroit:
2018 (Not really his draft) Berggren after the 1st round only NHLer, and he only played 12 games last year, and 53 in the AHL
2019: Only Soderblom after the 1st round has played NHL games (21)
2020: No one after the 1st round has even played NHL games. Wallinder and maybe Viro the only possibilities, I think
2021: no one after the 1st round has played NHL games, although a few are still prospects (Cossa, Mazur, Buium)
2022-2024 - still too early, but how many are trending well? Anton Johansson? Trey Augustine?

Kind of a strange way to look at it by saying that since so far players haven't played in the exact timeframe as his previous team means we can make a definitive statement so early. His early first round picks at the beginning part of his TB tenure were Drouin,Koekkoek, and Connelly, does this mean he is doing a much better job in Detroit?
