and heres the list with games played. I'm not gonna say disaster in 5 years since Staal was picked yet because I have high hopes for at least 2 players from each of the 2010, and 2011 draft, but the 3 previous to that were pretty well disasters at this point, and the Staal draft was a disaster after the 2nd pick overall.
Part of the reason the 2010,11 kids havent gotten a shot yet is because we are becoming more like the Wings and keeping our players in the minors or college longer which is really good. I just was really surprised how bad the drafting period was for the Pens. Obviously not going to be as good as when we were picking top 5 but somewhere in between that and what we actually have is what I thought we were getting for drafting until I looked at the list on hockeydb today.
