They bust their asses for years becoming the best young players in the world, and you know what the best of the best get? drafted by the worst of the worst. How is that a reward for them?
Sure it's nice to say "I was the first overall in 2012" but every kid dreams of winning the Stanley Cup.
You know who won a Stanley cup last Year? Kyle Clifford, drafted in the 2nd round 35th overall, in 2009, not John Tavares.
How about Smith-Pelly, he's got a shot this year, think taylor Hall does? Smith-Pelly was drafted 42nd that same year.
It's surprising more players don't pull a Lindros.
Congrats Yakupov, you were the best young player in the world, go play for the Oilers....
It's a stupid system.

Tavares can sign for whatever team he wants to when he becomes a FA, nice fake outrage though. If it was the flames grabbing those top picks I doubt you would be so vocal. You think Iginla ever dreamed of winning the stanley cup?
