2018 is probably a complete whiff which is to be expected when you don't pick before the 4th round. Too early to tell on the rest - but a lot of hope rests of goalies (who are voodoo) panning out.

Right and in those two years (2017 and 2018) the problem is they drafted once, combined, in the top 3 rounds.
Which everyone acknowledges as being the problem.
But the available data shows that when the team has picks, they are efficient with them.
You said you need to compare to other teams. Someone provided a tool that does that and now you are dismissing yet. Yes that tool is influenced by those two drafts, but for the rest, indeed either they didn't have picks or it's too early to tell.
Thus anyone concluding this club drafts poorly (not saying you are saying that but some are) as drawing the conclusion prematurely.
To say it again: The problem is lack of picks.
