If you want to compare with the Hawks, this dynasty managed to draft 10 NHL players during the same period. Us? 4-5.

Given that he wasn't involved in the McDonagh trade, I somehow doubt it. Also he had plenty of chances to draft him, including about 9-10 picks...

Yeah, our wings are full. And it's pretty much a given at this point that either Galchenyuk or Drouin will play center.
