Their system is ranked low for a reason.

Well you are moving the goal posts. Are you talking about the last 2 drafts or since 2018.
Their system is ranked low because of lack of picks including in the top 2 rounds.
The 2022 draft looks not good because they had no picks in the 1st, and only 3 overall. Really hard to offer any real judgement 3 months later from that.
For the 2021 draft, Coronato looks like a good 1st rounder. Stromgren didn't have a great D+1 season so I'll give you that. The middle rounds have some intrigue, lead by Jack Beck who had a major increase in his production YoY.
I just it's far too early to offer any judgements of the last 2 drafts.
Not sure if you are including 2020 but if you are I would say:
- Zary is tracking nicely despite some injuries
- Yuzentzov is developing along, including a lot of praise in the WJCs. Probably limited upside by high floor
- Poirier is the opposite. Unreal talent but needs to really develop his defense
- Then you have Kerins who has popped.
Again the problem has been lack of picks.
When people say that the last two drafts have been "incredibly bad" it seems like a very knee jerk opinion not based on much.
