Yes, there are some that will score 30 but there are 64 players drafted in that range every year. I get that you have a better chance of landing that player with more picks but why not place just as much value on a guy who has proven he can score at this level?
Trading any talent you do have for 2nds and 3rds sounds like shooting for mediocrity to me.

Keeping Kuzmenko is shooting for mediocrity for me. The Flames aren't competing over the next three seasons and he is too old to commit to in their current cycle.
You hope that you hit on a player with the pick that is better aligned to competitive cycle.
