If you wanted to go by "what if we drafted the right picks" over the last 10 years it would look like this:

Mikhail Sergachev
Connor McDavid
Leon Draisaitl
Rasmus Ristolainen
Colton Parayko
Nikita Kucherov
Tyler Seguin
Ryan O'Reilly
Braden Holtby
Jamie Benn

Now, there's no such team in NHL. Not even close. Can't expect any GM to pick the perfect players in every draft. Just have to expect them not to pick the Yakupovs of the world

Can't really blame them on Yakupov. He was the no-doubt top pick that year. You can, however, blame them for all those gross trades.

every single nhl team has made bad draft decisions. its not fair to expect your team to pick the top players. obviously looking back in hindsight its frustrating that your team passed on a better player but at the time they were making the best choice for them
