2016 seems like an amazing draft which benefited from draft position (Fox, Tkachuk, Dube is a pretty darn good haul in a 30 team league)
2017 seems 'ok' . they got an NHLer of some sort and a prospect who still has legs
2018 is a draft position/number of picks problem
and probably fair to call 19/20 too early to judge (but depending on how charitable you are there are names to like within the pile, but for now they are just that)

This is a fair assessment. I still take major issue with the 2014 draft not falling under Treliving/Button
He was in full control of hockey decisions at that time, and had two months to prepare for the draft. Plus he was hired from Phoenix as an AGM where he managed the amateur scouting staff so it can’t be argued he was unprepared.
and that draft is a disaster. Highest pick in franchise history plus multiple seconds and we walked away with nothing while other teams found superstars
