I think it's both, and they are intertwined ... the more picks you have, the greater the chance to hit quality. That's where Treliving and his trades come in, this franchise has just been bleeding picks and in 2022, they've effectively skipped a whole draft class (unless Ronni clears his name or Bell takes a giant leap). Conroy has done a decent job restocking the boards so far - adding two more good 2023 picks/prospects in Suniev and now Brzustewicz is a great start, as is the Canucks 1st obviously. Now add more picks and prospects for Tanev and Hanifin, please.
