What an absolutely, positively, atrociously ridiculous statement. I think stockpiling picks, drafting well, and developing players has never been more important in the history of the NHL than it is today. Look at how unimportant free agency has become, most FA deals seem to backfire and turn into anchor contracts these days.
Rant over, Ill disappear again until Iginla is officially eliminated.
