If I was Yzerman, I'd offer up my 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th rounders every year for a 2nd. Then you're drafting a 1st rounder and two seconds. I thought someone once posted a chart like 95% of the players that hit are 1st and 2nd rounders...... Fill the rest in with UDFA's.
I keep seeing reports that people we draft are "below NHL average".... Like, why bother.... The hit rate has got to be astronomically low.
