It can happen like that, and you don't have to always be looking forward to the draft like we have in recent years. It would be awesome to be excited about hockey after game 82.

I see what you did there, and while very funny - it's hardly comparable to our team.
If Edmonton/Buffalo wins 1st next year the league would call them shameless losers, if we win lotto next year the league would know we have the youth development and team mentality to turn McDavid into a legend. It would also push us into future Cup contention without a doubt. We're one of the more respected Canadian teams.
I feel like we're pretty close to being set for the future for prospects anyway, especially if we get Bennett/Reinhart this year with #4 and some good D prospects or big RW's in the later rounds.
