Different teams provide different opportunities.
A 30th. place team obviously can give an easier path for some players to get playing time over a playoffs team.
You'd have to think most teams are happy with their 2015 draft picks in the top 10, outside of maybe Arizona.
Marner didn't make his NHL debut in his draft year, some might have thought that was a negative considering how bad the Leafs were, but taking an extra year didn't hurt him, and taking 2 extra years won't hurt other players.
