The thing is, how exactly do they acquire that player? The team is too good to draft early, which is where most of those #1 guys come from. Never drafting higher than 4th, and blowing that 4th overall pick on a third liner is the reason this team is gonna be mediocre for another generation. Tore down the team and rebuilt, just to end up in exactly the same place, a bubble team that occasionally gets bounced in the first round instead of outright missing the playoffs.
