And in this era, you absolutely have to....have to build your organization through the draft. This is not negotiable.

Operating an NHL franchise in 2020 is nothing like pre cap asset management. Your thinking is so assed backwards it blows my mind.
The organization has already been set back decades by the absolutely horrible pick management up to this point.

If your strategy is to mortgage the future to win now you'd better ####ing go all in on it because so far theyve mortgaged the future and suck ass.

Picks that would help this core group win were made 3-12 years ago.

Andrew Mangiapane, rasmus Andersson and Oliver kylington were drafted FIVE YEARS AGO.

There's no immediate help coming in the form of drafted players.

If you're going to do something, do it 110%,

This team and their results were cast years ago man. It's the entire reason why theyve been trading picks in the first place, they have no talent.
