agree (well in part, I'm still not sure what more can be done to make players tank; they had gutted the roster and did some other stuff that should have worked - obviously in retrospect playing kids is bad for tanking, but we're new at this)
anyways , may have missed a year but quickly looking at 20 years of number 6 picks starting in 1990- I believe there is one true franchise player (?), Forsberg- although a bunch of good players (Smyth, Stillman, Hartnell, Ekman-Larsson etc- in some ways Langkow equivalents)
a franchise player would be great- but if our pick ends up as a Langkow- that's not too bad (especially if we don't give up on him as Langkow's first couple teams did (if I recall correctly- don't remember the particulars of how he left Tbay and Philly anymore)
will have to sink lower next year though
