That's logical, but I think they could justify it this time.
There are arguably 2 generational talents next year, and even if they improve next (as they should be trying to do), a ticket in that lottery is worth quite a bit.
I am sickened at the fact that Buffalo may very well land both McDavid and Eichel.
