While i think this team is in desperate need of injecting top tier talent, this does allow us to focus on a Fleury, Ritchie, Virtanen and several good prospects at 24. Or use 24 and one of our seconds to get back into the teens.
I bring this up as the new FO might want to infuse the talent pool with 'their type of guys' and they may want to maximize the number of picks.
The draft is fun.

I think that's a fair proposal, but I don't think it makes sense this year. After about 15 or so, the talent pool drops a bit and levels out. We have 2 2nds and 2 3rds and can likely acquire very equitable talent at 34 to what would be there at 24.
So it would be counter-productive, IMO, to drop down in order to acquire that extra 1st.
I would rather get the stud at #4
