and you just...don't believe in anything but luck. So there's no point in planning a roster or hiring good coaches because you can't account for the fact that you just need bounces. Maybe we can sign James Neal, Troy Brouwer, a 48 year old Cale Hulse and have them coached by Glen Gulutzan and they stand just as good a chance as a Joe Sakic crafted roster because they may get lucky. Neat.

Not only are you not reading what Jay Random is writing, relying on high draft picks is the epitome of relying on luck. You have to rely on the luck that your ball will be pulled out of a tumbler, with the best odds of getting #1 being around 25%. And then you're relying on more luck that the year you get that high pick is more like 2015 and less like 2012.
