If there is that much variance, it’s a good indicator of how weak the draft class is as perceived by scouts

That's my feeling too: unless Reschny is there for the Flames at 18, trade down and grab an extra pick or two if they can.
Zary's draft was interesting for that, as COVID hampered scouting so there was a lot of variation in lists outside of the top 10, making it a good year to trade back and get a few extra shots. They ended up with an NHLer in Zary and a potential NHLer in the third round in Poirier (who McKenzie ranked art 33 that year).
