Mehhh we win more than losing drafting just look at the pipeline 

Recently but a lot of Rutherford’s picks were flat out luck (Aho, Slavin, Pesce, etc.)

We missed on a ton first round talent during JR’s tenure to select guys like Jake Bean, Julien Gauthier, Haydn Fleury, Ryan Murphy, Philippe Paradis, and Zach Boychuk.

Success occurred once we started nailing first round picks like Svechnikov, Necas, and Jarvis.

Those came around when Rod became a part of the coaching….

And Waddell took over for Francis/JR.

Though I believe Necas was a Francis pick.

In reality the best picks during that tenure didn’t even have their best years in Carolina (Lindholm and Hanifin).

Waddell has done a lot of good for this franchise.

So, is Donnie Wads better at drafting or making deals?

Tough to say but I’d lead toward drafting.

Svechnikov, Drury, Kochetkov, and Jarvis are NHL’ers.

Nikishin, Ponomarev, Blake, Morrow, FUS, and Nadeau all look promising.

The only disappointment is Suzuki and injuries killed his career before it even got started.

    • Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft
    • Very True--and I am a former HS English teacher.  
    • Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
