The Dallas draft is much better with Heiskanen at 3rd overall versus 7,8,9 and getting Anderson, Middelstat and Rasmussen.
As many examples there are for getting lucky and it working out there are 10x (if not more) examples of that luck not happening at all.

….huh?
The draft has quite a bit to do with luck. First off, it’s a lottery. The best odds any team can have of drafting 1OA is 25.5%.
I don’t gamble, but I would say those are not too favourable odds.
As for Makar, the Avalanche were lucky. In a redraft (and you do like hindsight) Makar goes 1st every day of the week and twice on Sunday. If the Avalanche didn’t have good luck or fortune or whatever, then I don’t know what luck is, I guess.
