I.e. If we can't sign another Philip Larsen, then that's the price you pay for making a trade for a player you believe in (i.e. Leipsic)

"Excellent drafting pedigree"

"Can find gems in later rounds that other GMs cannot"

One player (Boeser) has amounted to something in his draft classes. Tryamkin is never coming back, Virtanen is a 4th winger at best, William Lockwood is Jordon Schroder v2.0, and your optimism for the future of the prospects is a touch on the hyperbolic side.

@Fateless I genuinely don't know why people think Benning's drafting is only limited to future prospects. It's like all the drafting and his familiarity of players scouted in the past don't count. You forget that Motte and Leipsic were prospects only a few years ago.
