To be fair to every NHL organization, they don't have the benefit of seeing an entire draft take place.
I'm sure if we did the draft before the real draft and not after our success rate would go down further.
The league saves us from taking players that would and should never be drafted.

You're probably right, however, I'm sure my success rate would be higher if I had a team of scouts paid to tell me who to go with.
We get to go off of an NHL Draft list (for a very rough guideline on where players go, so when we're deciding who to take 57th OV, and the guy who went 34th OV is still there, we can jump on him and claim he's a gem because nobody else wanted him), every different mock draft, and every different media personalities points on the players, which means that as long as we go roughly in line with the NHL draft, we won't look ridiculous.
I'd be all for drafting prior to the NHL draft, it'd be certainly very interesting (I for one would likely blow quite a few calls...haha)...only issue is, our eligible to draft list of players comes from the NHL draft list...
