High picks are not a guarantee. Wow. I don't even understand how that is somehow an argument for some of you. Obviously high picks bust. Picks 1-210 bust. What we do know is that high picks bust far less than later picks.
As for team culture let's look at our own Flames for a perfect example of how fast that can be changed. As soon as we traded a couple vets, brought in Hartley and a new organizational philosophy we saw a dramatic change in team culture. Elite talent is far more difficult to change than team culture.
