It happens.
It will probably take alot longer though.
Boston got pasta and mcavoy within 3 years both mid range 1st rounders.
Islanders got Barzal and Dobson with mid range 1st rounders.
Kucherov, nylander, Point, aho, hintz, robertson and josi are some other examples drafted later in the 1st or 2nd round.
Albeit the flames havnt drafted a star in the mid-to-late 1st/2nd round since the 80s lmao. Maybe we're due big time though?
