If you have the data you could see whether the system is actually effective in helping rebuild...I'd hypothesize that it isn't a strong correlation.

The problem with this is that to get a high draft pick you have to have inept management. the Flames were managed terribly for how long and they still can't get in the top 5. Most teams will eventually fire the problems... but if you're stuck with a terrible owner even a high draft pick can't save you from yourself.
