Do those names ring a bell?
And yet Detroit is always heralded as this great drafting team - in part because of those guys.
Granted, they are good and I also like (and hope the Stars imitate) their patience with prospects.
But every team gets lucky from time to time, whether it be lottery positioning, late round gems, or a few top picks in a row all panning out well.
