Continuing to examine draft results. I felt like taking the draft results of arguably one of the worst franchises in the league.. so I picked the Columbus Blue Jackets. My original hypothesis.. lots of draft picks, not a whole lot of talent.. surely the statistics would echo the anguish felt by droves ( ..possibly an overestimate) of Jackets fans.
Here they are.

Again here is Geoff's original article on this subject:

Unlike Philadelphia and even more so than Detroit, the Jackets have been able to get a TON of games out of later picks. While they haven't been able to find a diamond in the rough they have drafted a lot of useful checking players. Or are they useful? Would these players even have made an impact with a better club? The sheer amount of games played by players drafted by Columbus is probably skewed because of lack of depth. Whatever, I wanted to throw the curve!
NOTE: one of the more interesting things I found out today.. Jared Boll never played an AHL game. 265 NHL games though and only -17!!! Unheard of for a grinder, especially in a poor system.
