Again Chicago is a good example of that - they had lots of extra picks over and over again for a 15 year period before it finally came togehter for them. So listing the successful picks and saying it paid off for them is cherry-picking.
AGAIN, NOT SAYING IT'S A BAD STRATEGY. However, I AM suggesting that anyone who thinks dumping Iginla, CAmmalleri, Kiprusoof etc and going into this draft with tons of picks, and BOOM, we will have done an instant rebuild is being overly optimistic

It is not cherry picking. Look at St. Louis, Chicago, LA, Pittsburgh, Phil, Wash, Boston...over the past 10 years. Look at Florida over the last 2 years...they are trying to emulate those teams and their success in gathering multiple picks over a number of years.
