It might be easier to say, "Calgary has the draft capital available to purchase Marc Staal, instead of saying that Calgary has a third, two fifths and a seventh". It identifies a range instead of specifics.

But you could just say "Calgary has the draft picks available..." and it means the exact same thing. Whether you say they have the draft picks available or the draft capital available... it's the same, you still have no more idea what those picks are without clarification by calling it one thing over the other.

Personally I would rather have a guy like Mangiapane or Brodie than a Pitlick. I just like seeing guys grow and develop within a teams system. The more darts you have the more chances you have of hitting a bullseye.
Mangiapane, Anderson, Brodie, Gaudreau, Paul Byron (sorry he was a Bufflo pick), Michael Ferland etc.

Thank you for the offer but you do not seem like my type and I'm not interested in a long distance thing atm. Best of luck finding love.
