Not to mention, plenty of organizations who tanked got nowhere with it. See Edmonton, Buffalo. For all their hype Toronto added Tavares and still has done little. Colorado did great with mackinnon and Makar but outside that has only landeskog to show for a near decade of drafting.
It’s a bad plan.
Draft 4th in the right year you get makar. The wrong year, Bennett. Draft first you might get hischier or yakapov or mcjesus. That’s not a plan.
