But your point in counterintuitive… the Rangers show that you don’t need high picks to build a competitive roster….
Shesterkin was a mid-round 2014 pick when the Rangers were competitive. Fox, Trouba, and Lindgren were acquire through trades.
No it isn't. You're making it seem like it is. They just so happened to acquire those players in that way. I was merely pointing out the status of each (Elite goalie, 1D etc). The Leafs timeline in making the playoffs post Matthews pick lined up with the next year having two 1D quality guys go in the top 4. That was my point.
