Maybe it's just confirmation bias but it sure does seem like they just hyperfocus on checking a box at the time of the pick and don't have any type of flexibility.

We need a forward. Take a forward.
We need a defenseman. Take a defenseman because he's the last one in your top d-man tier.
We need a goalie. Take a goalie because he's the top one in your goalie tiers.
We need a Center. Take a center.

Find a way to get Eiserman. Maybe he’ll have a chip on his shoulder. Eiserman and Luchanko I’d consider a great first round, just wouldn’t expect the reverse order

I think whats frustrating is our biggest needs are #1D and #1C.

San Jose mightve filled both roles in one draft. And we couldnt fill either in 2.

And I can live with not tanking...but the other part of rebuilding that teams like the Sharks and Hawks are willing to do is trade guys for those 2nd picks. San Jose getting 2 top 15 picks. Chicago getting 2 top 20 for the 2nd straight year.

And yet here we are...still keeping laughton.
