It's a committment to getting more picks in more than just the first round, and actually sticking to that plan that the team needs.

In the 4 drafts before drafting pat kane, the blackhawks made 48 total picks including 14 picks in the first 2 rounds.
Chicago drafted top 10 three times, top 3 twice, and got one player (toews) to show for it.
In the 4 years of Vinny's window the Flames drafted 26 times total including 11 in the first 2 rounds.
Calgary drafted top 10 twice, top 5 once and got one player to show for it.
