It scales in either direction, though. Saskatoon had strong second round picks as well, and arguably a good third round pick too, so if the draft class hadn't become more shallow due to the SBA drama incident then those second and third round picks would have been stronger as well. Other teams would have been stronger, for sure, but Saskatoon's roster would still have been the strongest roster at the start of the season - assuming of course the trades that did happen between all clubs were still included if the draft was stronger.
What was lucky (more so than not) was this draft coinciding with the new 250 TPA cap over the old 200 one. haha
