Winning is a helluva lot more important for these guys' development than getting another 2nd round pick... Look north.

The lower half of the NHL standings are littered with teams who abandoned rebuild prematurely. Toronto, Ottawa, Philadelphia, etc. Being mired in mediocrity for 10 years is worse than spending three or four years in the cellar. And getting into the playoffs once in a while doesn't seem to have had any long term benefit for Toronto, Ottawa, Philly, etc.
