Why not play some unknowns on the PP, and put your young stars on the PK to teach them responsibility?
The point is, that win yesterday probably set this franchise back another 5 years.

As sensationalist as that sounds, it could be very correct. Imagine the Oilers getting Patrick Kane instead of Sam Gagner. Could've made a huge difference in their rebuild. Looking back, most of the guys picked in that 5-10 range haven't made a huge impact on their franchises.
