Do you think it is likely or even possible a team is getting that level of players now?

There will always be players picked in later rounds, who turn out to be gems. It’s why teams like Edmonton spin their wheels and teams like Tampa win cups. You need steals, you also increase your odds with picking 1st and 2nd overall. You need them both equally imo. Vegas has Marchessault, Tampa has Kucherov.
