Truth.
That said a higher pick does give you a higher likelihood of getting a franchise player.
Some people are acting as if this win cost us a chance at a franchise player. It didn't, there will probably be a franchise player left if we take the right player and have some luck with their development.
At least there is some reason to believe our scouting is a lot better than during the Tkaczuk/Fata/Saprykin/Krahn era.
