I think one has to account for draper being drafted into a mismanaged franchise and then being traded to a team that had Yzerman Fedorov, Primeau, Larionov then Datsyuk Zetterberg down the middle
As a center the only way he was going to make the team was as a grinder. On a team that didn't have a dynasty roster he could have put up somewhere between Jere Lehtinen / Mike Peca type numbers as a second or third line center. He won 4 cups, was .333 points per game and barely took penalties considering the role he filled. 24 playoff goals a 20 goal and a 40 points season as a career grinder.
I mean if we are talking a redraft are people taking one of Trent Klatt, Greg Johnson, Patrice Brisebois, Rob Zamuner ahead of him?
