Are you serious? So drafting two franchise stars, and having at worst a top 5 prospect pipeline is a failure.
Sure it is, Buffalo has had a top 5 prospect pool for how long and done what?
Detroit is closer to Buffalo then any other team in the league, most of that during Yzerman's tenure they haven't made the playoffs once in 8 years yet but I guess they have a cool prospect pool to look at. You talk like it's hard to have a top-5 prospect pool when ding ding ding, you draft in the top-10 every year. Prospects drafted in round 1 have a heavier weighting when pools are ranked, Detroit drafted a top-10 pick for 7 years consecutively, you're talking like he pulled some wizardry there.
He hasn't drafted 1 late round impact player to Detroit, that's his "speciality" no? In fact he traded the one impact player drafted beyond the 1st round that Detroit had and someone they drafted before he got there, Hronek.
