That's why a two-year stretch where Shane Wright (2022) and Connor Bedard (2023) are the prize is a nobrainer year
Half thr players you named are wingers, and we've shown an abilility to draft quality wingers late like Mangiapane and Gaudreau, and you can always stumble across a Tkachuk or Lindholm type in a failed tank year. But centers are virtually impossible to qcquire without going for it. We never got a center for Iginla, we never got a center for Gaudreau. I'm fed up with doing it all wrong.

You realize even the worst team in the NHL which is an accomplishment in itself has around an 80% chance of not picking first
