I think he's one of the 5 best Habs draft picks since 2010. 1. Alex Galchenyuk 2. Brendan Gallagher 3. Nathan Beaulieu 4. Artturi Lehkonen 5. Sven Andrighetto Too many small players? Nah, not enough good draft selections. Which the blame either goes to Timmins or the blame goes to the team player development. Or both.

That's 4 solid NHLers and a marginal case in 8 years. I'm not a draft expert by any means - is this result as sub-standard as it looks?

(McCarron makes it 5, but is still a disppointing pick.... Hudon and De la Rose could make it 7 but I don't have much hope beyond them. Reway seems a long shot due to health) 2014, 15, and 16 are too early to judge That said 4 in 5 years is below average. 7 in 5 years is pretty close to average but a little below... Trading all those picks in 2008, 09, 10, 11, 12 hurt the depth in the organization. We traded a 1st, and a shit load of 2nds/3rds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
