Looks like we found Kevin's round. Kucherov, Klingenbergener and Pesce are all very solid 3rd round picks by Kev. Jesse with a nice pick (in Gallagher) here to make up for his bad 2nd rounders. Dave Y also with a strong showing with Hoffman and Zuccarello. Cat man rounds out our representation from curreng GMs, with a decent pickup in Hamonic. Again though, not a great showing overall by current GMs, but I guess since these analyses don't consider the most recent couple of years. Some very nice picks though by some of these former GMs, as most of these players would easy go first round in a redraft.
