No one has ever said high-end quality isn't important.
But you continually refuse to acknowledge the value of depth - which does nothing for your reputation as a poster.

I acknowledge depth. It's important.
But quality and depth are not equal.
Quality is a step above depth.
Defensemen 1-3 are infinitely more important than 4-16 in an organization.
Its the same with prospects.
I feel like you are just arguing the point because the Oilers are ahead in quality in this specific area.
