It normally is. How often do teams get guys like Adam Fox and Panarin the way we did? And have a goalie like SHesterkin in the pipelines from before the rebuild.
Normally unless you’re getting a generational talent and even then it’s far from a guarantee (see oilers). I think player development at 17/18/19 is more important
 
I think he would have been a fit here too but he should have been in calgary as well so it's hard to say which guy we would have gotten, likely the guy in the middle of those two highs and lows, so maybe Goodrow is a poor man's Bennett.
Isn't Goodrow at his career goal mark already and trending towards doubling his career best ? If not , he is close .

Honestly, how was this kid picked 9th? How was he not at minimum a consensus top 5 pick in that draft? He’s arguably more skilled than Hughes, bigger, and plays center.

I really just cant deal with the fact that this kid was a Ranger until they won the lottery. It’s f***ing maddening.
If he was drafted by the Rangers he would be labeled as a bust right now, probably down in the AHL.

Just finished watching the Florida/Sharks game.
Takeaways:
They are not trading Lundell
Bennett was a steal
Sorry for whichever team draws them in the first round.
Sam Bennett will be the one that got away from the Rangers, and I think not getting him lead Gorton down the path to getting fired.

I'm really hoping for a Leafs/Panthers first round. Would be some cool 6-5 and 7-4 games.

Looking back there seems to be a lot of missteps that Gorton made that makes me wonder how much of it was not having full control of the ship.
It was supposed to be a full rebuild and then J.D. was made his boss and then it became a modified rebuild and here we are.
Davidson failed in St. Louis and failed in Columbus. Wish he would have stuck to being one of great memories from the 78/79 season and a great broadcaster.
