Yeah and they won two cups from the team Yzerman built not Brisebois.
But also he was very lucky in drafting. Both Kucherov and Point were later round picks.

Which will be crushing when we lose again.

killorn needs to move down so that gauthier is in top 6. Not sure i know if vatrano or gauthier is better w zegras or leo. But he sure as hell aint going to light it up with harkins and johnston

I honestly feel that almost if not all late round picks are just luck. You pick the kid that actually fights past their flaws.
Yeah, it seems like teams really make their drafts in two ways:
1. Not missing on their top ten picks
2. Finding more quality NHL players in the last half of the 1st and the 2nd round than other teams (see Dallas)
I think teams used to be able to mine other countries with quality scouts or connections in those areas to find late round gems more often (like Detroit with Russia). But with all the information that's available now, after the second round, I think you're right - it's mostly just rolling the dice and hoping.
This in 99% of the cases. The other 1% usually are picks with either symbolic character or desperate grabs for players that should not be there to begin with (read: stating your pick is a player with unclear contract status or eligibility, like some late-round picks in the late 80s / early 90s from Russia, or a player who was born two days after the eligibility date and whose claim for early eligibility was not yet fully discussed).

At this point all I hope for out of these games is that some asshole doesn't run past me when I'm holding the stop sign

Can’t wait to see how many outstanding Leo plays Killorn butchers tonight. I might hate him more than I ever hated Shattenkirk

I enjoy the lazy penalties he takes and then gets rewarded with more ice time

i don't get why killorn isn't the one playing on the 4th line. what has he done to warrant playing on the top 6 that gauthier hasn't

he's old and terrible at his job and knows he can coast and do nothing because there's no expectations for this team. same reason Cronin is still around, old; terrible coach and can just coast as a coach and do nothing. the team is ran by a bunch of old f***s who don't know what they're doing and don't care; and we don't have owners who give enough of a shit to do anything about it.
