Rough math: Probability of getting a top forward (more than 300 points) with either 18 or 32 is ~12% and ~10%....so 22-25% chance we get a solid player at 18 and/or 32.

By all accounts when healthy McQueen is ranked with Misa. The chance of McQueen (assuming he is a top 3 pick) turning into a top player over 300 points is ~60%, so even after adjusting for downside of the back issue i think you are ahead.

Happy for someone to tear down my math (been awhile since i did independent outcomes!), but i know i'm roughly over the target. It's a no brainer if he drops down to a range that our two picks can trade up for.
I’m thinking no chance he gets past the Habs at 16 and 17. They’ll take a chance on him with one of those
