Yeah it is.
You're not out tanking Chicago or Arizona this year. Montreal, Seattle, and Ottawa aren't good either.
But even if you do tank and finish 3rd worst overall - that means you have 10.9% odds of Wright.
Honestly tanking for Wright or Bedard isn't a realistic option, and at best you're looking at between an 8-10% chance of getting the player anyways.

This is a good point.
Outside of Hanifin, Andersson, or Lindholm we dont have any younger players locked into a value contract for 3+ years. That term has value for a Sabres team struggling to keep players. (Guess you could include Dube too - but he hasn't broken out yet).
