I’m not sure the point. I suppose they could have fluked out again and signed a future Norris winning defenseman like Gio who went undrafted, or heck even picked Johnny in the 4th round. Who needs first round picks?

Getting top of the draft talent isn’t the only way to build your franchise cornerstones, but as has been pointed out plainly, your odds are substantially better. I’ll take 10-20% chance vs 0.3-0.5% chance everyday.
