8 picks in the first three rounds. Assuming we stay around bottom 5 in the league, we own 8 of the first 68 selections. Absolutely huge.

* Obviously, our 1st round pick is the most valuable asset potentially in the entire franchise right now. Hopefully it is top 5, and we have a good shot at the lottery.
* The VGK pick is a big wildcard. Their pick is unprotected and they have a really bad record (29-33, being carried by OT losses) with tons of playoff-team matchups ahead - which they have fared extremely poorly in this season. I don't think it's impossible for them to miss the playoffs and that pick ends in the mid teens. We drafted Cole Reschny with NJ's pick in that same ballpark...
* Assuming NYR and CGY remain in the bottom 5 of the league, those 2nd round picks can be looked at as similar in value to late firsts. Similar idea with VAN and CGY with the 3rd round picks, which can be looked at as similar to late seconds.

It's not just the quantity of the picks, a lot of these picks are from not great teams. This isn't the same as getting picks from Tampa or Colorado, both teams that I think are going far. There is a realistic (maybe not probable, but realistic) possibility of ALL of CGY, VGK, NYR, OTT, UTA and VAN missing the playoffs this year lmao. 

  
If Kadri or Coleman can net us another first then that's even better. I'm ecstatic. My Conny-fidence is doing well right now.
