I don't think we need to argue the extremes though. We don't need to draft 3 hall of famers per decade to be successful. But the other extreme shouldn't be "it doesn't mean our drafting is bad if we don't get any NHLers for half a decade."It's funny. Even by Lightning standards we are still doing okay. If we really want to get this upset over the last few years I wholeheartedly suggest they review our decade of drafting darkness from post Lecavalier to Stamkos. God I don't even want to bring up Edmonton trying to develop anyone who isn't a 1st rounder.
What we did when Yzerman took over is the stuff of legend that only really happens rarely. If that's all we get and a regression to the norm then hey, it was fun while it lasted
