Quoting: Hitagi_Senpai
the quality in prospect after the first 15~ picks is almsost the same.
a 25th overall is just pretty much the same as a 33rd
You said a 1st....they didn't get that. Not to mention the Rangers pick will equally be late in the second round, The draft stats drop off after round 1 on success, stop trying to play strawman fallacy - it wasn't a 1st round it was a bottom of the barrel 2nd rounder.
