It was just to point out the over reaction we see all the time from fans when a front office does something they don't like.

Sure, draft orders change. But picking a guy ranking around 11 at 2? That doesn’t work very often I bet. For every Jarome there’s a dozen guys who aren’t way better in a redraft.
If Conroy picks Iginla 2OA, I think his judgment would have to be questioned. I don’t think that’s a serious possibility though.
