Bullets in the chamber, it's critical unless you're the Rangers and everyone just finds their way to your team.

Yeah, Dallas is cited a lot with how they used their extra picks in their 2017 draft, but in 2015 Calgary got a second and a third for Glencross -- after trading their first and second for Hamilton -- and drafted Andersson with the second and used the extra third with their third to trade up and grab Kylington.
Definition of benefiting from extra bullets.
And even with how poorly Boston drafted in that 2015 year with all of their extra bullets, they at least got Debrusk and Carlo out of that draft because they had the extra picks.
