I don't doubt it, it's embarrassing.
I think cube is a good dude, but to go around saying "well if the everything goes right we'll be 30th again! yay!" Is just embarrassing. The Flames can be bad all they want, but cheering about your chances of 30th overall before the puck has even dropped on that season is just crazy.
As far as this whole "generational talent" thing goes? Who cares. Really. Crosby was the last "generational talent" (if you don't count Tavares) and you know what? The Penguins aren't even the best team in the league. Hell, you can argue that Crosby isn't even the best player in the league (not that he's not without question in the top two or three), so I would quite frankly rather see some progress next year, draft wherever, and build properly.
None of this hoping for 30th junk. Generational talents are great, but let's all remember that more teams win without them than those that win with them.
