Trading a disgruntled top 3 pick (Drouin) for a D that doesn't suck (Sergachev)
Draft a franchise D at 2nd overall (Hedman) instead of a flashy forward
NOT be the Siberia of North America
NOT sign their back up goalies to absurd contracts after half a season
ETC
Yeah. That'll happen.

As much as Tampa has turned it around.. they have sucked for many years.
Its really hard to screw up 1-3 overall picks (which they did in Drouin but then lucked out). I know what you are trying to say and they have drafted well, but it just irks me because lots of people think they have done it without completely tanking.
