If we move on from Robertson and Holmberg... here is the list of skaters on the Leafs we've drafted.
Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Rielly.
That's an epic failure.
Championship seasons:
"Of the 22 players to play at least one postseason game, 10 were signed in free agency, eight were acquired via trade,
three were selected by Florida in the NHL Draft, and one was claimed on waivers."
"Of the 23 to play at least one postseason game, 11 were acquired via trade,
six were selected by Colorado in the NHL Draft, five were signed in free agency and one was acquired via waivers."
Of the 24 players to play at least one postseason game, 12 were acquired via trade, six were signed in free agency,
four were selected by Vegas in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft, one was selected in the NHL Draft, and one was claimed off waivers.
I don't see the problem personally.
