What's missing in the pool is top end.
By the same logic if they happen to keep all those picks I hope they use the seconds and onward on high risk/high reward players.
When you have quantity at your disposal, celling should be the selling point on the players you select.
We might not need too much more low ceiling/high floor types with all the pickups recently acquired (castagna, gross, curran). Flames have a TON of B/mid level talent. Maybe enough to fill out two future bottom sixes.
Time to swing for the fences with potential.

100% agree with quality over quantity. With 8 picks on the top ~65, there are many combinations of picks that could be packaged together to move up
To draft Michael Hage, the Habs traded #26, #57, and #198 to Los Angeles in exchange for the #21 pick
If there is a cluster of prospects from 10 to 16, could the Vegas 1st (#19) and the Ottawa 2nd (#50ish) get you into that cluster?
There is also a cluster in the 20s (23-29). Could you package a couple seconds to get into that cluster?
I'd expect Conroy to make 4 or 5 picks in the top 65, not 8
