This is always a quick litmus test for the 'house money' argument...
VAN has no 1st and 2nd this year. In 2021 they didn't have a1st, in 2022 they didn't have a 2nd, and in 2023 they didn't have a 2nd. In 4 years, they will have had 3 picks in the first two rounds.
EDM has no 1st, 3rd or 4th. They will pick 61st, then won't pick again until the 150s. Last year, they had one pick (#56) in the first 150. And the year before, they had one pick (#32) in the first 150. So in 3 years, they will have 3 picks inside the top 150. In 5 years, they will have 6 picks in the top 100.
The Flames will have 6 picks in the top 100 THIS YEAR.
House money, LOL
