Sure you can luck out on Robertsons or Kucherov or Gaudreau but that’s once a life time luck

In my lifetime, so far, the Flames have these late picks:
3rd round Adam Fox
4th round Johnny Gaudreau
4th round TJ Brodie
4th round Robert Reichel
8th round Theo Fleury
9th round Gary Suter
6th round Brett Hull
3rd round Mike Vernon
9th round Hakan Loob
They are clearly not "once in a lifetime".
It helps to have high picks, but good players can be found throughout the draft.
