It's going slower because in Hockey and Baseball, you're drafting a lot of 18 year olds, and except for a few premier talents like Provorov, they don't mature as players until they're 22-23. So it's about five years from the beginning of the rebuilding until you start seeing the fruits of your labor. When Hextall took over, the only serious prospects were Ghost, Morin, Laughton, Hagg, Manning, Leier, Cousins, Stolarz, Wilcox. His first draft and second drafts are now in the AHL.
2014: Sanheim, Lindblom, NAK, Fazleev, Friedman
2015: Vorobyev, Martel, Myers [Sandstrom, Kase, Marody] - Provorov, Konency
2016: Lyon
2017: MV, Patrick
Hextall's team won't hit the ice en masse untnil 2019-20, the 6th year after he took over.
The 2015 draft is in the AHL and in Philly hopefully next year, the collete and Euro players in two years?
The 2016 draft hits the AHL in 2018 and Philly hopefully in 2019
The 2017 draft hits the AHL in 2019 and Philly hopefully in 2020
