Guhle
Olofsson
Pu
Asplund
Borgen
Fitzgerald
Nylander

I think it’s safe to say a few of the above won’t really pan out

i was and i might be wrong, thats the point. a bunch of those probably won't pan out, especially relative to their draft position.

I wouldn’t call Reinhart a success at #2 overall.

Point is we had a boatload of picks, and he’s “hit” on almost nothing so far. The ones with the potential to I listed.

I would guess at most, 5 or 6 end up “hits”

27%

I am wondering what the league average is.

Considering there are 7 rounds assuming a GM hits on 2 players per draft that is 28.5%

- Stripes77

I count 22 picks outside the first round over three drafts...these look promising:

2014
7th round--Oloffson (181st-overall)

2015
2nd--Guhle (51st)
4th--Borgen (92nd)

2016
2nd--Asplund (33rd)
3rd--Pu (69th)

so 5/22 outside the first round equals about 22% which, without doing the research, seems pretty damn good to me...

There are also some like Johansson (2014, 61st,) Brown (2014, 151st,) Fitzgerald (2016, 86th) and Murray (2016, 99th) who are longer shots but might still be in the mix

2014 was a bad draft year for Buffalo outside of skunk, but he still may have hit on two picks if olofsson comes over and makes it

yes but it won't be 2 out of the standard 7. He had 9, with 4 of them in the top 60.

I think the sabres were probably in the mix but there's a lot of chatter around the red wings, and it was mentioned again last night on HNIC that Holland made a big push for him.

It’s gonna be different with the fact that we had multiple 2nds and 3rds at times.

And EVERY team has just as many busts as any of these will be..... it's such a crapshoot.

is this 27% including guys like borgen and asplund who haven't actually played yet? it's not a knock, im just saying it'd be tougher to evaluate league average that way.

you'd need to know the organizations prospects pretty well to assess who's got the right kind of hype around them.

agreed, so why does TM deserve credit? if it's such a crapshoot and the results are basically league average or slightly below..

They take time to develop ....... unless you feel every single 18 year old no matter what round is a bust if they aren't NHL players within 2 years ?

This probably has a negative chance of happening tbh.
