or Edmonton just jump started their rebuild with the best player since Crosby, giving them some flexibility to trade some of their accumulated talent for other players at positions of need...trumping Calgary in terms of top end talent.
lets not kid ourselves; at some point, if you keep getting top draft picks, that franchise will turn around. Guys like Brodie, Monahan and Gaudreau did just that for us...
