You confuse “can’t find a franchise altering D in the draft past 7th” with “should draft a D eighth that isn’t BPA because you need a franchise altering D

Because the odds of a franchise altering D being avail there is basically the same as in lower picks - which you nicely demonstrated
I thought you were arguing that if you want a franchise altering defenseman, you have to draft them in the top 8, and you aren't getting one later than 8th.

I was pointing out that many (maybe most) #1 defensemen are drafted later than 8th
