Whatever philosophy you use to build a team... it doesn't matter if you don't do the other things correctly.

The Oilers are on their way to four 1st overall picks. They could have a powerplay that consists of 80% first overall picks. They are putting up good numbers for the most part.

So why is the team still losing? Because poor drafting and development everywhere else. All Tambellini has to do on draft day is go to TSN.ca and look at McKenzie's draft list. Beyond that first pick, he's screwed. That team has no idea what it's doing.

Likewise for the Flames, until we start to make changes in our development system, it doesn't matter who we trade or who we draft. We won't be successful until we change our methods, not our philosophy.
