Case in point - the 2009-2010 Calgary Flames. Too many overpaid/underperforming players, and no 1st or 2nd round pick in the draft because assets had to be used to supplement the talent on the team through trades instead of developing homegrown talent.
Eventually, it catches up to you if you draft poorly.

You complain about the bad draft record, so shouldn't you be happy that we trade away picks for other assets? What is the point of keeping them if you "suck" at drafting...Don't bother bringing up the Jokinen for a First, cause we all know that everyone on this board thought it was a great trade at the time.
