I agree with this, but will say the obsession over draft position and where you “have” to have drafted is silly. It doesn’t matter how you get those stars, you just need them. And yes, it’s easier to get them at the top yourself, but “history says you need a top 5 pick” is just too overly simplified.
If Wolf stays on track and hits his potential (and damn he looks on his way)? Who cares where he was drafted.
Huberdeau is a top 5 pick. Doesn’t that move the needle for anyone? No? Then who cares where he was drafted.
If the Flames win the cup without a player they drafted in the top 5 while Huberdeau is still on the team, people can still use them as a reference point for “you have to pick top 5,” and that’s silly to me.
