Just because Edmonton's #1s have been less than special doesn't mean you shouldn't go for it when you're so close to being #1 or #2 when there are 2 'generational' players available in next year's draft. Finishing last guarantees you'll get one or the other. If we'd started Irving instead of Kipper we'd have MacKinnon instead of Monahan. If we'd tried a little harder we would have had
Lecavalier instead of Fata, and Thornton instead of
Daniel Tkaczuk. Why do you want a bad year to have no extra prize at the end.
