So if Tampa trades away all their later picks I guess they’d still be just as good without Point, Palat, Kucherov, Cirelli etc
Skip the anomalies, how about the following looking at only the top 3 rounds
Masin, MacLeod, Yan, Spencer, Stephens
Then there is
2018 - no 1st
2015 - no 1st
2013 - no 3rd or 4th
2011 - no 4th
2010 - no 2nd
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Of course let’s just dismiss the good players. If you piss the picks away you won’t get any hidden gems.
More picks = more chances.
You can a lead a horse to water.
yes, you have dismissed the good players.
go back to only 2014, Bennings 1st draft, who ya got? Point. Where are Masin and MacLeod from that draft? Both taken ahead of Point. There were 78 pick above Point. Why did he not go until then?
You've lost the plot with using outliers.

Gillis: As GM of a team, I think people have this wrong. It's really only the first pick that you have a lot of influence on. People have this idea that you're drafting, but you're not. Your scouts are drafting. You weigh in on the first pick, particularly if it's a top-10 pick

Different strokes for................................
Demko for Montour. Shoots right. 24 years old or Virtanen for Fabbro
“Tyler Myers is my guy... I was taking to Scotty Bowman last night and he was bringing up his name, and saying he’s a big guy and big guy need big minutes to play, he is playing great for ya… and I agree with him… He’s been exceptional” - Bruce Boudreau
Gillis I think is mostly right. Most GM’s that talk about will tell you that after the first round it’s down to your scouts. Benning is one of the few exceptions and that is a product of his background and true love, scouting. But he also says that after the first 1-3 rounds he relies heavily upon his scouts.

He was the boss, all final team building decisions went through him
In 6 years of drafting - only Hutton. Just putrid, disgusting really. Gillis needs to own this, the architect. He needs to stop throwing others under the bus
“Disrespectful” - Mike Babcock
We gave up a major young asset for Horvat

Hdub was making excuses for the worst drafting GM in hockey history
