Come on. Players walk all the time. Drafting is what kick-started this drought. 05-07, then 09-2015, was atrocious drafting. Then the unanimous picks you hit on in Reinhart and Eichel end up leaving. 2016 draft offers zero support we hit on ZERO later round picks in like 15 years with the exception of Olofsson. From 2012-2020 we didn’t hit on a single 2nd round pick. (McCabe to Peterka). Teams like Tampa won multiple cups with exceptional drafting. 05-08 went so well adding Briere and Drury because for 10 years before the 04 lockout we drafted- McKee, Tallinder, Afinogenov, Campbell, Kalinin, Kotalik, Miller, Gaustad, Roy, Pominville, Paille, MacArthur, Vanek, Stafford, Sekera, Kaleta. Some of those names were 2nd, 3rd, 6th, even 7th round picks that were all vital to the success of the entire team.
