He took some Chel type hits last night.

Does that mean it was a rebuild from 2017-2020, when almost all these players were picked? Seems disingenuous! There's Michkov, and then there's Luchanko (youngest player in team history skewing that), for whom no rebuilding team would ever burn an ELC year in his D+1.

You could play an entire team of 18-22 year olds, but it doesn't make it a successful rebuild. The Sharks are older than the Avs. It's noise.

York #14-2019
Brink #39-2019
Foerster #23-2020
Andrae #54-2020
Michkov #7-2023
Luchanko #13-2024
Tippett, Drysdale (Gauthier #5-2022) post 2018 trades.

2021 was the worst draft, starting with trading #1, Tuomaala, Kolosov
2022, Bump, McDonald
2023, Bonk, Bjarnason, Zavragin, Barkey, Ciernak, Sotheran

The problem was neither Hextall or CF was trying to rebuild.
The scouts haven't been the problem, a FO without a coherent strategy was the problem.

Sure they have to an extent. No real gems outside the 1st rd. No unearthed studs.
