But if you go through the 2012 to 2016 drafts, all of them have 1 star taken in the 18-26 overall range.

Speaking specifically about the Bruins pick, if I understand the rules that means the earliest i can be is 24th.
I'm not discounting the value of these picks. The points being made were:
- No one said 2023 picks weren't going to move, just that if they did, they are likely to be late ones. This remains true
- And that when you get later into this draft, I don't believe it to be materially stronger than most other drafts.
