So I disagree. While there's a minute chace you fluke into a Bergeron or Point, it's not a realistic plan to rebuild.
Honest question; what do you think is more likely, winning the lottery in a year where a generational talent is available, or finding a Point, Kucherov, Bergeron, Pasternak, Stone, Aho, etc.
