Depends.
There is a top 8 (imo, of 4 forwards and 4 D), and then another tier of 8 for me, but not a tier that I absolutely HAVE to draft in.
I don’t do scouting for a living, so they’re obviously not going for my list(s). If our scouts think:
1) the drop off in talent and potential between 12 and 20 isn’t much
And
2) grabbing 2 darts over one makes more sense, I think you do it. If they have a top 20 list where the 20th best player on their list is just as valuable to them as the 12th best, I don’t see why not.
