Your liberal use of draft picks is a sure way to kill a teams chance to build for a good future and why is Russell your top lhd in all your builds he is 3rd pairing guy. Also at cap and 3 players short of 23 roster

Well they've had those draft picks for the past 15 years and never made the playoffs, newsflash they can't draft properly after the first round and they never made the playoffs when keeping there draft picks, so why would they continue doing to same thing if it doesn't work

Newsflash, new people are behind the draftpicks now. Tell me Bear, Jones not showing promise while being drafted in 5th and 4th rounds?

I understand but we had many prospects who show well in the minors over the years and haven't panned out, you don't get your only examples are 2 defenders who both struggled in the minors this year especially jones, bear showed a few flashes offensively by sucked defensively in the NHL, id rather trade them to get ready players, and to my point you referenced 2 players from the 2015 draft from 3 years ago who are still 3 years away so that's a total of 6 years minimum before they might become a full time nhl player and that's if everything else goes right and they even make it to the nhl, those are picks from 2015 also get your facts straight about the current drafting
Go over the last few drafts, 80% of the picks from 2016 already suck and even puljuarvi is struggling and there are over 10 players picked after him that are already better then him, they screwed up a 4th overall pick in a good draft, just saying this team needs players from other teams cause they can't develop there own
