I think it dates way back. The Bruins took decent shots on goal in the draft through the mid 2000s when we were giving away 2nd round picks left and right. From 2004 to 2010 we had 1 single 2nd round pick (Mitch Wahl baby!).
Goes to show that you need to be meaningfully involved (prior to 3rd round) in the draft every year. It's tough enough to find a good player in any given year, let alone find one when you only participate in the later rounds.
