Honestly it's not like their picks have been entirely bad. Their development system, like pretty much everything else in the organisation, is just absolutely terrible.
Hindsight is always a beautiful thing, but honestly it's been more of a rule than an exception that any prospect drafted by this lot, if not absolutely generational prospect at their youth, is set to become worse than expected.
Plus it's not like Suzuki was drafted by MTL anyway. He was traded for Patches. Had he been stuck in the VGK system, there's a likelihood he'd never made it to the point where he is now. Timing and the correct team matters the most for any prospect.
