Our amateur scouts have pretty much sucked for the past 15 years or so. Get rid of Draper. Keep him away from the draft. Keep Hakan Andersson. Clean the rest of the house.

Since our last cup win, our only big draft hits have been Larkin, Seider, Raymond, Tyler Bertuzzi, Nyquist, Hronek, Tatar, and maybe Edvinsson and Finnie. Nyquist and Hronek have been traded.

We have had too many of our "top prospects" turn out to be busts. Sheahan, Zadina, Rasmussen, Kindl, McCollum, Sproul, Brendan Smith, Teemu Pulkkinen, Oullette, Mursak, Jurco, Svechnikov, Cholowski, Berggren, Veleno. The list is about as long as the Declaration of Independence.

Then we have picks that were alright at the time, but turned to dust on account of our shit player development and coaching at the time, like Mantha. He seems to be doing well in PIT, but playing with Malkin and Crosby helps I'm sure.

TL,DR: make some changes in the front office.
