have all graduated from the prospect pool in the last 6 years (and I have probably forgotten some)
That's 3 forward lines, 2 pairs of D, and a goalie. In 6 years.
The fact that the prospect pool is now substantially depleted is not a surprise, and nor should it be considered a red flag or black mark on the organization. There are few teams that can present a similar list, with respect to both quality and quantity, across the league.

Couldn't have said it any better myself. That being said, it's about time to stop tossing around picks like Oprah on a cocaine binge.
