Do they pick Peterka without Ralph Krueger involved? Probably not.

Yeah, just not sure if it was anything more than random luck and not to expect it to happen again for another 15 years. I just don't have a lot of confidence in this org scouting department based on the last ten years or so. I know different GMs and front office personnel, but results often appear similar. Can we even expect a 2nd rd pick like Peterka once every 5 years or is that to optimistic?

2014 2nd Rd, pick 31: Brendan Lemieux
2016 2nd Rd, pick 33: Rasmus Asplund
2017 2nd Rd, pick 37: Marcus Davidsson
2018 2nd Rd, pick 32: Mattias Samuelsson
2020 2nd Rd, pick 34: JJ Peterka
2021 2nd Rd, pick 33: Prokhor Poltapov

Historically, 2nd rounders have about a 30% chance of playing 100+ NHL games. Look it up, Google Historcal Success rate of NHL Draft Prospects. You will fins the success curve by draft selection.

So, lets consider the list from above, and I added the last couple of years
- Brendan Lemieux: 300+
- Rasmus Asplund: 183
- Marcus Davidsson: Zero, Zip, None, Nada
- Mattias Samuelsson: 160 and counting
- JJ Peterka: 169 and counting
- Prokhor Poltapov: too early to tell, currently 16 pts in 21 KHL gms
-----------‐----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Alexander Kisakov: starting 3rd year in AHL Rochester. Highly l8kely a miss for NHL gms..
- Topias Leinonen: too early to tell, probably not though.

So, out of six (6) 2nd round selection with reasonable amount of time to play NHL games, four (4) have surpassed the 100 game standard of 30% with 67% success rate... double the traditional/historical expectations.

I continue to be astounded by the lack of perspective on this board with regard to expectations from draft prospects.

Once every 5 years, a 2nd Rounder to become a L1 success after 2 years as an expectation? Lol.
13 years of on ice failure has warped us all.

Astounded by a Team and GM who have consistently said they are building through the draft and have only a couple of players they actually drafted playing on there Team. And a bunch of others they drafted who we don't know if they even fit.

Power/Peterka are the only constant at this point. We are still hoping on the other's.

Cause they've failed to bring in meaningful surrounding players through FA and trades till just recently.

The draft has been the only bright spot since KA tookover. Everything else has been ran very poorly.

I don't care about other Teams, I care about a Team who says there building through the Draft and after 5 Years they have 2 players they can count on that they know of and a bunch of ? marks.

Well that's why they're changing the middle six up. Get some new looks maybe break some guys out of their Slump.

Yep, and it's good to see. You can't just expect to build through the Draft and not bring in good Mentors and Leadership to help those players grow. You can't just count of Draft Picks, it just doesn't happen in the NHL.
