    After spending many hours digging into Benning's draft history, I have concluded...that it takes until about 6 years after the draft for me to be confident in my judgments about draft picks.

      just wondering how your initial reactions lined up with how the picks panned out

      @JM_ Well I'm only confident in the 2014 and 2015 drafts. In the end, the 2014 draft was better than I realized and the 2015 one was worse than I realized. 

       

      Virtanen wasn't quite as good as hoped in 2014, but we had a lot of other solid picks outside of him. McCann and Demko were solid, Tryamkin was okay, and Forsling was a steal in the 5th.

       

      Boeser and Gaudette were good in 2015, but we had nothing at all outside of that. Brisebois was fairly disappointing for a 3rd round pick and has played very little, showing little promise. Zhukenov, Neill, Jasek, and Olsen also didn't play a single NHL game. The one caveat is that I didn't consider AHL success. Jasek was a decent pick in that he was at least a good player for Utica.

      I like the Breezy pick a lot, I thought he might be a regular by now. Jake seemed like a good bet at the time too.
