Whatever shape an overpayment takes - if everyone’s offering four 1sts, offer 5.
Did you know the Pittsburgh Penguins drafted exactly two players in the 1st round after Sidney Crosby who helped them win Stanley Cups on the ice?
Jordan Staal and Olli Maatta.
Everyone else was either traded for someone to help them, or traded as 1st round picks.
Nobody became anything special. The best player after Maatta is Kasperi Kapanen.
Draft picks are for losers.
