Here we go again, let's look at the quality of picks we had in that timeslot:
2012:
1- Galchenyuk (#3) : He is the 2nd best player in 2012 draft year, surpassed only by Filip Forsberg (10 other teams passed on him). We were in dire need of a center, and Forsberg was definitely not that. Galchenyuk had a good chance at being an NHL center, but we severely misused him, and that's on our terrible development system. Still, best center at the draft, and better than pick #1 and #2. Draft Win.
2- Collberg (#33): 2nd round. Didn't pan out. Draft Loss? That year, in the 2nd round, only 3 out of 30 teams had a player with mild success (bottom line caliber, all of them). Terrible quality players.
3- Thrower (#51): 2nd round. Same story as above.
4- Bozon (#64): 3rd round. Actually in this round, there were 5 success stories: Vesey, Lindell, Gostisbehere, Parayko, Andersen. So we had a 16% chance of success, and failed.
5- Hudon (#122): 5th round. 3 success stories in the rest of this draft: Slavin (picked #120, before Hudon), Hellebuyck, Connor Brown. The rest all performed WAY worse than Hudon. For a 0.83% chance, that's miraculous.
2013:
6- McCarron (#25): 1st round. We went over why he was chosen already. Fun fact! The centers chosen above him were Gauthier (#21) and Lazar (#17). Beyond that is top-15 territory. So we obviously couldn't choose those options, but what about the next set of centers? Who was the next best center in that draft? Jake Guentzel (#77, 3rd rnd), Andrew Copp (#104, 4th rnd). That's it, nobody else. So the Habs had a 0.54% chance of picking a successful center, and the league as a whole agreed that Guentzel and Copp were not considered top caliber at the time, hence why they were chosen so low. Verdict: Bust, but I blame the fanbase @75%
7- JDLR (#34): 2nd round. Bust? Look again, he's the second best player in the 2nd round. Guess who's the best player in the second round? ... Lehkonen. Bad options. The entire league failed in that round.
8- Fucale (#36): 2nd round. Bust. This one, no excuses. He had all the pedigrees, but sometimes it all fails. Bust.
9- Lehkonen (#55): 2nd round. As I stated earlier, he's by FAR the best player in that second round. Forward, Defense, and Goaltending positions combined. Bad options.
10- Crisp (#71): 3rd round. Draft fail, no excuses. 8 other decent options were available. We had a 26% chance of success.
11- Andrighetto (#86): 3rd round. Success at 0.43pts/g. So we performed at 50% success rate in the third round, when we only had a 26% chance. Draft WIN.
12- Reway (#116): He was shaping up to be a success, but had serious heart problems. Can you blame Timmins? Anyway, from the moment we drafted him, no other players had NHL success, ever.
2014:
13- Scherbak (#26): 1st round. Too soon to tell if he'll succeed, but looks like it to me. The only forward drafted after him in the next two rounds worthwhile is Kempe (#29) and Dvorak (#58).
14- Lernout (#73): 3rd round. Bust. But the only other player who succeeded in that round was Point (#79). 3.33% chance of success.
15- Koberstein (#125): 5th round. Draft fail. Remember, these picks don't pan out 92% of the time (stats back me up)
16- Audette (#147): 5th round. Probably won't pan out, same as above. BUT fun fact, Anders Bjork was picked immediately before him. Good job, Bruins. Then again, every team passed over him at least 4 times.
17- Hawkey (#177): 6th round. Too soon to tell (NCAA) -- Potential win?
18- Evans (#207): 7th round. Too soon to tell (NCAA) -- Potential win?
I won't go further.
Do your damn research before slamming your own team.
