This. So much this.
Yeah, your favorite team entered a rebuild because they sucked after the first rebuild sucked, so they have all these highly ranked draft picks. Also, because your team sold-off every single player it possibly could, they had more shots at finding legitimate prospects in the draft. The selling also corresponded nicely with trying to draft the highest possible caliber of prospect in a draft (ahem.. tanking). .
Yeah, time to beat the chest. On some other team's forum no less.
Yawn... come back and start bragging when your team at least is considered a legitimate contender and has a good strong prospect pool from which they keep replacing players through without skipping a beat. Don't do it because your team happens to be contending with the Oilers. I am sure there were (and still ARE) plenty of Oiler fans who are extremely proud of their prospect pool.
Until then, huge yawn. Your prospect pool is so good? Wow! Your favorite team sucked long and hard, hey? Congratulations! That is simply fantabulous!
