That strategy probably works fine in the energy game, but the NHL is zero sum and it's not surprising at all that spending the most high value picks in the league in the last 5 years has only garnered the 18th most regular season wins in that time frame.
It has happened across how many general managers now? 4?
I'd love to see how where the flames rank in high value picks dealt post lockout. I'm willing to bet that the Flames are the worst high value drafting team in the entire NHL over the last 15 years.
