Look at their drafting when Drury was AGM and then promoted, their drafts and player development has been awful.
2017: Lias Andersson, Filip Chytil
2018: Vitaly Kravtsov, K'Andre Miller, Nils Lundqvist, Olaf Lindbom
2019: Kappo Kakko, Matthew Robertson, Karl Henriksson
2020: Alexei Lafreniere, Braden Schneider, Will Cuylle
DRURY TIME
2021: Brennen Othmann
2022: Adam Sykora
2023: Gabe Perrault
2024: EJ Emery.... who by the way we took over Cole Hutson...
Combine this with the constant assets being moved to fill the hole on the top line with the asinine Buchnevich trade they effectively closed their window after what, 3 years? Look at all these wingers Drury acquired to try to get a wing next to Kreider and Zibanejad:
Tarasenko - 1st Rounder
Kane - 2nd Rounder / 4th Rounder
Vatrano - 4th Rounder
Reilly Smith - 2nd Rounder
Roslovic - 3rd Rounder
So in the macro, Drury sucks. In the micro, Drury sucks. However you want to slice it...DRURY f***ING SUCKS.
