If a team was confident it could hit home runs with 15th - 45th overall picks, they’d trade down in the draft every time and profit.
Nobody has claimed it’s impossible to draft elite players in that range. The point is that it’s less likely than drafting elite players in the top 5. And that’s all drafting is - playing the odds.
At the 2025 draft lottery, Conroy expressed frustration at how close the Flames came to winning the 2nd lottery. Presumably - and I don’t think I’m reading minds here - he was pretty sure he would have gotten a better prospect at 4 OA than at 18 OA.
