We have to remember these teams actually have to field a team that season. They can't just pick all prospects unless they want to lose every game by 5 goals in their first season. Its not sexy but much more likely they pick actual NHL players than a boatload of prospects.
If they have to hit the cap floor in their first year - they'll need to get some guys with salary as well.
