The more draft picks you have, the more options you have. Elite players can be found in the 2nd round with good scouting and luck. The young guns route didn't work the first time and it won't work a second time. If you don't recall the Flames made trades for a lot of young players because they couldn't afford to sign free agents. Different circumstances but it's essentially the same quality of players you are going to get. Maybe a good not great one in Bure but also lots of Wiemer, Gauthier, Simpson, and Schantz.
