It depends what your end goal is.
If they're trying to build a Stanley Cup champion? These are steps they need to take. They need to build a new foundation. If they're trying to rush back into the 1st round of the playoffs and be fodder for teams like Colorado? Then yeah, this doesn't make any sense.

and you don't win a Stanley Cup without winning that lottery, so you may as well put yourself in the best position to do so.
