Quoting: MisstheWhalers
It hasn't been great since the Laine pick though.
To early to tell. Vaisailin was a bust.
Heinola is just turning 22 I remember when Morrissey was considered a bust at the same age then he got his shot when Trouba held out.
Perfetti put up 30 points in 51 games while being defensively sound. I love how often he reads a play and breaks it up with his stick. He was injured but he's smaller let him put on some muscle he'll be fine.
Lucious has bin hit with the injury bug but looked good in the World Juniors and his short stint in the WHL
Mcgrotery put up solid numbers in the NCAA this year. Lambert has 17 points in 7 playoff games. Just 3 shy of Bedard 20 in 7, he's showing why he was considered a top 5 pick at one point playing against his own age group.
Even Stanley is a useful NHL defensmen. If only a 3rd pairing one.
We've bin drafting in the late teens other then Perfetti those guys usually take time. If KC played a year in college, went down to the A after 20 games. Then when he was called up he didn't go back down. Future isn't as bleak as it feels.
