In today's NHL, that's the strategy to win. Push hard to be in a position to succeed, but in those years when you're going to suck, suck hard so you can bounce back with top-end talent. The worst thing you can be in the NHL these days is consistently average...it's how you end up wallowing in purgatory like the Flames have for a couple of decades.
