I'm assuming you mean "waste" our luck to draft first overall, since each lottery is independent of results of one another (the new rule of not winning more than 2 consecutive doesn't start till next year).
If that's what you mean, then I'm the opposite. As a Flames fan, I take any luck we can get. Because you know if we don't win this one, we aren't winning the one next year or the year after that either. Flames are fated to never win a draft lottery until proven otherwise. Maybe winning this year kicks of a string of good luck for the next few years.
