I think it's fair to say you have to balance your draft picks by position, player type etc. If you determine the BPA is a big physical defenceman every time it's your turn to draft, you're probably not building a god team over the long run. You can't rely solely on your ability to trade those players into other needed assets since as mentioned, the hockey player trade market is not like a commodities market. It's more than just preference, it's building a system of prospects that can ultimately lead to a winning NHL squad.
