There are 7 rounds in a draft. Over a 10 year period if you kept all your own picks, you'd make 70 selections.
Guess how many Tampa has made in the last 10?
81
In that span they've been contending, with 3 conference finals appearances and a trip to the cup final
Guess how many draft picks the flames have made?
67
In that span they've made the second round 1 time
I WONDER IF THAT IS A CONCIDENCE
What if, and this is probably a crazy theory, but what if the success tampa has had is because they are a well run organization and the lack of success the flames have had is because they are a very badly run organization?

Someone has been day drinking. If we kept the picks we would not have Elliott, Smith, lazar and Hamonic (let alone Stone and Fattenberg). Do you want to live in that world?
The frightening thing is that when the Sens likely hit on their picks this year they will probably be in a position by 2023 to say that they have made multiple deep runs over the past 6 years and everyone seems to think they are a dumpster fire. They already have a complete stud dman and one pretty good forward to build around. They are going to get 3-4 more pieces this summer at the draft in all likelihood. I suspect they will be another example of why you build through the draft, especially when you are a small market Canadian team.
