The Carolina Hurricanes have made 33 draft picks in the past 3 years. Yes, 33. Averaging 11 per year. For comparison's sake, Falkovsky (2016, turns 25 this year) was the Flames' 33rd most recently drafted pick.
They were 3rd in the NHL by points percentage and goal differential.

They have only had one top 10 pick since 2015.
They have 30 million in cap space. They have only 2 players over 30.

Good asset and cap management can really get you far. Especially when combined with drafting and developing.
Even though they've made bad trades and let people walk for nothing, the sheer discipline of their asset management has turned them into a contender.

If you're not going to tank and rebuild, that's the next option. How many overpaid Colemans do they have? None.
