You need to be able to trade some of the pieces you draft for younger pieces and picks.
Ask too much now and other GMs will return the favour when you’re in a bind post draft and need to move some bodies.

Yup, you end up with ~16-17 NHL quality forwards, but have only 13-14 roster spaces on the main team - and a similar situation for defenseman.
You likely want to trade a couple expansion picks away for draft picks and prospects.
Francis may be setting the bar too high, and missing out on some good opportunities to make his team better.
