Top young prospects are a heck of a lot closer to sure things than fanciful trades where we get front-line player for supporting pieces, or free agent signings that don't break the bank and handcuff the team for years.

Drafting your core is the way you build a contender in today's NHL. Everything else in this discussion - Iginla, rebuilding, all of it - follows from that truth. It's not a sure way - nothing is - but it's the most likely way.
