Back what up? My opinion?
If all it takes to win the cup is to draft Mcdavid or Eichel, then lets just hand it out at the draft. In order to have success drafting high and developing is absolutely critical.
I would say developing a culture of hard work and that losing is not ok, as well as protecting the young players is worth more than drafting 3rd-10th vs top 2.
Over the long term, with what this franchise is trying to accomplish, missing out on the top 2 is not going to be the difference in returning to contention.
Look at the Oilers.
