Blame it on the team's success, which has resulted in the team drafting in the mid to late 20's it seems like for some time. What was the last time the Caps drafted anyone higher than the 20's, the year they took Forsberg and Wilson.
I don't really mean that as a complain that we don't have high picks. It's just that there isn't anyone even getting a chance. Apart from the few years we picked 11, 13 and 16, we've picked in the 20's all the time. We used to make those picks count and found several NHL quality guys in the later rounds too. Since 2015 the results impacting NHL roster are non-existent.
