Guys are comparing hockey to basketball and Durant's situation now? Lord. Hockey involves requiring much more depth, while basketball is star driven. Not a good comparison.
Part of what the good teams do early on is have a development system to continually pump out talent. Say what we want about Tampa but they've excelled in it the past few years. The Flames have been pretty poor lately. Gotta keep those picks and develop them for the franchise to be a contender year in and out. Eichel by virtue of being brought in at the expense of so much when the team is shallow on star power and depth is such a terrible move.
