(Obvious, I know, but it amazes me how many people forget this. You can suck your way to a last-place finish, but you can't suck your way to McDavid. I would love to see the Oilers finish last by about 20 points. Then all their fans could salivate over McDavid for months, and then be surprised when some other team wins the lottery.)
For us, I think we are drafting 6-12th. Realistically, probably 7-10. But what I am saying is that rather than just looking at the top 3 prospects in this draft, we should be glad we are creating a winning culture and can still draft a solid player in the range I just specified.
