I think people overrate late draft picks allot.
You can also only make so many draft picks if you make 30 draft picks in 3 years and sign 80% of them, odds are only 2 will be in the NHL, so you will have 23 NHL players & 22 players on ELCs. That leaves 5 spots to resign prospects, give older players a second chance or sign College UFAs.
By averaging 10 draft picks / season you are basically deciding draftees on ECLs are the only route you will take to develop players.
Quality is allot more important than Quantity, and some times you are just better off not to drop your pants, and take nothing.

I'm more curious why you don't like the Russell trade
