You could argue that the 2011 draft was directly responsible for the Hawks adding two Stanley Cups to the 2010 achievement.
And that was after completely blowing the first #1 pick. Saad and Shaw were critical to those two Cup runs. But the mileage, especially to Shaw, was career limiting, unfortunately.
And in the "what if" category, it would have interesting if the Hawks were able to sign Kevin Hayes and don't make the asinine trade to deal Danault. They would have been set at center for many years. Of course they still wouldn't have been able to keep everyone once contracts had to be renewed.

Hayes sucks so it was better he ended up elsewhere.

The irony of the 2011 draft is that no one stands out past McNeil other than Connor Murphy whom the Hawks ended up with anyway.
