So now its 9 out of 26...10 if you include Lemieux...also who was calling Olosson a success til this year...so the jury is still out on a bunch. - sabreswarpath
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.
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

given how many picks they had i think it's a bit below average
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.
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.
Pegs Wish List
-Sign Borgen
- Sign Casey
-win a top 3 pick in draft
- Trade Risto to Oilers for RNH
-Trade O'Reilly to Carolina for Skinner and a prospect

1/5 so far. Lets get going Botts

This probably has a negative chance of happening tbh.
