None of the draft picks they received have potential to be 1rst next year and although they've gutted their team they are still very competitive with the real sucks like the coyotes so its still the same lottery.
If they were actually getting good returns for 2023-2025 high draft picks then I'd understand the argument but they flipped good prospects for a high school prospect for example from this year. Just extremely bad asset management in my opinion.

Few GMs would be dumb enough to trade unprotected picks next year.
They have increased their odds by significantly increasing their odds of a bottom 3 finish next year. Other than ARI, who else is going into this season planning to suck?
