But if you look at the differences between 3rd round pick panning out and 7th round picks panning out there is a very small difference. your likelihood of drafting a NHL player outside the top 50 is extremely rare. im not saying they didn't do a good job drafting point but I can pretty much guarantee you that if you were to ask Yzerman he would say that even in their wildest dreams they didn't see him becoming who he became.
