The team would have turned the entire roster over from then even if they turned into a great team. Other teams have had multiple versions with maybe one or two players consistent over that time frame.
I get that people hate on Florida because they haven't been successful and they don't fill the building (those two things are linked), but there are plenty of teams that nobody blanches at when they get several top picks in a row and then run with it.

Hoping that Florida gets it. These perennial loser teams are not good for the league unless were talking about the Oilers of course.
