That's pretty simplified. I'd argue it's more from making bad moves in general, then a fast tracking philosophy. Hamilton trade #1 was a great move, and the definition of fast tracking. You should always be trying to improve. Fast tracking moves like sending out futures to augment the fringes of your roster is what kills you. Trading picks for average goalies in hopes they can be a #1. Trading picks for guys like harmonic. That's the #### that kills you.
Ottawa has Stuetzel, Tkachuk, Batherson, Norris, Chabot and some others. That's a solid foundation. If they get a chance to add some quality veterans in the top of the lineup for a reasonable price, they should probably consider it.
