Tanking seems to be the only way to win. Maybe not first overall but need a few top 3s over a 3 to 6 year span. Look at all the Stanley Cup winners. MacKinnon and Makar, Stammer and Hedman. Kane and Toews, exception may be Kings but they still had Doughty. Then you add a bit of luck trading and or finding late rounders. We can say tanking isn't for us but if you want another 30 years of losing then we can continue to draft mid and late first round all day long
