Potvin29 said:It means that the value attached to those individual picks should be realistic.
There's a bit of a disconnect here though because as much as we like those draft pick value charts they don't really generally reflect the value they carry in actual trades. That's why everyone went crazy at that Travis Yost article that looked at the value of the Leafs 1st overall pick.
The 30th overall pick (or even the 31st for you other people) still carries a lot more weight than you would think for something that has little chance of producing a top-level talent.
