I think easier to plug holes in NFL than NHL.
No crazy to have 3rd and 4th round picks contribute the same year they are drafted.
Lots of FA movement.
Easier to cover holes as well ie great pass rush helps weak secondary, great run game makes up for crap QB. Sure this happens in NHL but not as much.
Main thing though is drafting 21 and 22 year olds. If Flames were doing that this year with their picks they probably add a 1st line Center, 2nd pairing d man and 3rd line defensive specialist center. Makes a huge difference in a quick rebuild.
