So there's some good and bad in that story.
Barrett Hayton was picked at five and he missed out on Quinn Hughes.
He missed out on Evan Bouchard.
There was one where they traded up to 11 to get Victor Soderstrom, who like the next pick was Matt Boldy.
Like they missed out on guys like Cole Caulfield.
Like generally speaking, his draft record sucks.
Oh, well, he got Matias Michelli at this pick.
You need an abundance of those though.
Dallas finds these gems every frigging year and they just got knocked out in the first round.
It's not good enough to get a gem every now and again.
You got to do this over and over and over.
Good trades over and over and over.
Good coaches, head, assistant, other assistant, video coach.
You better nail them.
