I get the best player available thing, but I think you have to put a rider in there. Look at Edmonton, if your drafting BPA year after year and not filling team needs, you over stack the team in one or two positions and never balance it out.

I think you have to go deeper then picking up the consensus hockey news pick at that position and pick BPA by position based on organizational need. If you have good forward depth, then maybe you pick bpa by defenseman.

But to blindly pick bpa I think is a recipe for Oily disaster.
