Late rounds is basically random - so more ammo is better more so then “skilled drafting”
The issue is every team effectively has the same “odds” of finding that 1 in a hundred star in later rounds. Why do think the Flames will find more - and exponentially more - then the other franchises to use that as their building blocks
So if that is the strategy - it’s almost certainly not going to work
Can it ? I guess . Boston is probably the best example of a sustained team without a high pick being the driving force (Bergeron and Marchand and now Pasta being non high picks ,and Chara being the best FA signing ever)
But that’s one team in the last 25 years (and they did also get Seguin #2 but I wouldn’t classify him as a top 3 reason they have been good for so long)
